1986-1987 Danny Ainge Boston Celtics Game-Used Knit Home Jersey

Drafted out of BYU by the Toronto Blue Jays, Danny Ainge played three seasons of baseball before entering the NBA where he saw much greater success. On the left front tail of this Boston Celtics knit jersey is the "Medalist Sand-Knit Boston Celtics" manufacturer’s size 44 tag. Above is the “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for the Boston Celtics” tag. Across the front is "CELTICS." Below that and on the back is the player number "44." Across the back is the player name "AINGE." All lettering and numbering is done in green tackle twill. On the upper left breast is the embroidered official "NBA" logo. The jersey shows good game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
