Galehouse’s 1944 Flannel Uniform: A Historic Baseball Relic

A Momentous Victory in Baseball History

In the annals of baseball history, the year 1944 stands out as a remarkable chapter for the St. Louis Browns. On the final day of the season, the Browns triumphed over the Yankees to clinch the pennant, setting the stage for a historic World Series face-off against the Cardinals. This momentous occasion was marked by the stellar performance of Denny Galehouse, who donned this very flannel uniform as the visiting team for Game 1. Galehouse’s prowess on the mound led to a victory over the seasoned World Series pitcher, Mort Cooper, etching his name in the annals of baseball lore.

The Unique Features of the Uniform

This flannel uniform is a testament to the craftsmanship and style of the era. Inside the rear collar, the “Rawlings St. Louis” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by a jersey size “44” flag tag. The left front tail bears the inscription “Sensoth 44,” embroidered in brown chain stitch, a nod to the uniform’s original intended wearer. Galehouse’s journey with the Browns began in 1941, wearing number 22, but in 1944, he returned to wear number 30, originally made for a player named “Sansoth” who did not play.

• Signature: Galehouse’s autograph graces the uniform in blue marker, rated an impressive 8-9.

• Historical Detail: The left sleeve is adorned with a war patch, a poignant reminder of the era.
