Bill Mazeroski’s 1960 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Moment in Baseball

Bill Mazeroski, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, spent his entire 17-year career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. His legendary performance in the 1960 World Series remains etched in the annals of baseball history. Mazeroski batted an impressive .320 over the series, culminating in a dramatic walk-off home run in Game 7, securing the championship for the Pirates. This moment not only defined his career but also solidified his place in baseball lore.

The Jersey: A Testament to Excellence

This remarkable grey flannel vest, worn by Mazeroski during that unforgettable season, is a testament to his prowess on the field. Inside the back of the neck, the MacGregor size 44 label is a mark of authenticity. The team name “PIRATES” emblazoned across the chest and the player number “9” on the back, both in black on gold felt, capture the essence of the era.

Mazeroski’s signature graces the front left tail, inscribed with “Best Wishes Bill Mazeroski” in black marker, and in our opinion, it rates an 8. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent wear, with a minor stain under the left underarm. Accompanied by a JSA ALOA, this piece is a rare find for any collector.
