Phil Masi’s 1948 Game-Used Boston Braves Jersey: A Timeless Treasure
An Iconic Piece of Baseball History
Step back into the golden era of baseball with this extraordinary 1948 Phil Masi game-used Boston Braves jersey. This remarkable artifact is not just a piece of clothing; it is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Major League Baseball. The jersey, along with period pants, stirrups, and spikes, forms a complete uniform ensemble that evokes the spirit of a bygone era.
The jersey itself is a stunning example of mid-20th-century baseball attire. Crafted from grey fabric, it features the iconic “Braves” lettering in red on black felt across the chest, proudly displayed above the team’s Tomahawk logo. The left sleeve is adorned with a beautiful Braves team logo patch, adding a touch of elegance to this historic garment. Across the back, the player number “38” is emblazoned in red on black felt, a change from Masi’s original number “10,” with a faint outline still visible.
Details of the Ensemble
- Manufacturer: The jersey bears the Horace Partridge manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity.
- Size: The jersey is tagged as size “44,” while the accompanying pants are size “38.”
- Player Identification: A strip tag inside the rear collar reads “Masi,” embroidered in red chain stitching.
- Additional Pieces: The ensemble includes matching pants, stirrups, and vintage cleats, completing the full uniform.
Presented to us as game-used, this uniform is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows excellent use. The pants, also manufactured by Horace Partridge, feature the number “31” embroidered inside the rear waistband, adding another layer of intrigue to this fascinating collection.
