In 1971, Blue had one his best seasons as he won the AL Cy Young Award, leading the league in ERA, and was named the AL MVP. On the front left tail of the vest is the “McAULIFFE” manufacturer’s tag. Adjacent below are two white strip tags, one with the size “42 in blue and another with the year “71” in red. On the left chest reads “A’s”. On the right chest and on back is the player number “35”. All are done in the same green on white tackle twill. Across the back is the player name “BLUE” in green tackle twill, which has been restored. Blue has signed the front of the jersey in black marker with the added inscription “MVP + Cy Young 1971”, in our opinion the signature rates a 7. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
