Carlton Fisk’s 1992 Chicago White Sox Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
An Iconic Player’s Legacy
Carlton Fisk, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including being an 11-time All-Star and winning three Silver Slugger Awards. Fisk holds the American League record for the most years behind the plate, an impressive 24 seasons. His number 72 is retired by the Chicago White Sox, a testament to his enduring impact on the team and the sport.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This remarkable jersey, a relic from Fisk’s time with the Chicago White Sox, is a testament to his storied career. The front left tail features a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “48” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, accompanied by a strip tag with “92-1” printed on it. Inside, below the rear neckline, is a Russell Athletic distributor’s tag, a unique and acceptable variation, along with a tag that reads, “100% POLYESTER”.
Adorning the left chest is the iconic “SOX” logo, while the right chest and back proudly display the player number “72”. All numbering and lettering are crafted in black on grey tackle twill. Fisk’s signature graces the area above the front player number in black pen, rated an 8 overall in our expert opinion.
Commemorative Details
- Right Sleeve: Features a “COMISKEY PARK CHICAGO WHITE SOX” patch, with a Russell Athletic logo embroidered below.
- Left Sleeve: Displays a black diamond embroidered as a memorial to two White Sox employees who passed away during the offseason.
This jersey is believed to have originated from a bulk purchase from equipment manager, Chicken Willie Thompson. It is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows light use. This piece is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from JSA, further enhancing its value and authenticity.
