“The Big Hurt” was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014 for his consistent hitting at the plate. Thomas is the only player in history to have seven consecutive seasons with a .300 BA and at least 100 RBI, 100 Runs, 100 BB and 20 HR. On the front left tail of the jersey is the “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” manufacturer’s tag with size “46” and wash instructions. Adjacent below is a white strip tag reading “35-46-94-1” in black. Vertically down the left chest reads “SOX”. On the left chest and on back is the player number “35”. All lettering and numbering is done in the same black on silver tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the “CHICAGO WHITE SOX COMISKEY PARK” logo patch embroidered in silver, black and white on white tackle twill. On the right sleeve is the MLB’s “125TH ANNIVERSARY” patch embroidered in red, blue and gold on black tackle twill. Adjacent below is the Russell “R” embroidered in black. Thomas has signed the front right shoulder of the jersey in black marker with the added inscription “35”, in our opinion the large signature rates a 7. On the inner rear waistband of the pants is the “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” manufacturer’s tag with size “38” and wash instructions. Adjacent to the right is a white strip tag reading “35 - F. Thomas - 38/40-33-94” printed in black. Above the left rear pocket is the Russell “R” embroidered in black. The uniform is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
