Roger Craig’s 1964 World Series Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Season for the St. Louis Cardinals

The 1964 World Series was a historic showdown between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees. In a thrilling seven-game series, the Cardinals emerged victorious, marking a significant moment in baseball history. Among the key players was Roger Craig, whose performance on the mound was instrumental in the Cardinals’ triumph. Craig pitched five innings across two games, striking out nine batters and securing a crucial victory for his team.

The Iconic Jersey

This remarkable jersey, worn by Roger Craig during the 1964 World Series, is a testament to his contribution to the Cardinals’ success. The front left tail of the flannel jersey features the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “44”, with “Craig 64” embroidered in red chain stitching. The wash instructions are located on the inner left tail. Across the chest, the word “Cardinals” is embroidered in red on navy blue, with the iconic “birds on a bat” logo above, crafted in gold, red, and navy blue. The player number “41” is prominently displayed below and on the back, with the player name “CRAIG” above it, all in red on navy blue felt.

Additional Uniform Details

• The undershirt features a “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag, size “46”, with “B4-1” written in black marker.
• The pants have a “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag, size “36”, with wash instructions and a white strip tag reading “Craig 64 36 27ins” in red chain-stitching.
• The hat includes a “Harry Walker” manufacturer’s tag, with the size tag heavily deteriorated over time. The player number “41” is written in black marker on the underside of the brim, and the Cardinals “STL” logo is embroidered on the front.
