Carl Yastrzemski’s 1975 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Career
Carl Yastrzemski, a revered figure in the annals of baseball, is celebrated for his remarkable achievements and enduring legacy. As a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Yastrzemski’s illustrious career is marked by 18 All-Star selections and the prestigious 1967 AL MVP award, a year in which he also clinched the Triple Crown. His defensive prowess is underscored by seven Gold Glove Awards, and his iconic No. 8 jersey has been retired by the Boston Red Sox, a testament to his indelible impact on the franchise.
The Jersey’s Unique Features
This extraordinary jersey, a relic from the 1975 season, is a testament to Yastrzemski’s storied career. Inside the rear collar, a “McAULIFFE” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by a size “42” tag. The center front tail bears a “1975” year tag, with washing instructions attached below. The front of the jersey proudly reads “BOSTON,” while the back showcases the player number “8,” both crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the grey fabric.
A Signature of Greatness
Adding to the jersey’s allure is Yastrzemski’s signature, elegantly inscribed below “BOSTON” in blue marker. The inscription reads “1975 AL Champions TC 1967 HOF 1989,” and in our opinion, the signature rates an 8. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and an additional LOA grading the shirt an A10, this piece is a must-have for any serious collector.
