With Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker formed a keystone combination of longevity nearly unsurpassed in baseball history. He is among Detroit's all-time leaders in doubles, runs scored and hits. On the left front tail of this road knit jersey is the "Rawlings" label with the size "42." Adjacent is the flag tag reading "Set 2 1987." Below this is a gray patch reading "2 1 87 2," which is done in blue embroidered stitch. Across the front of the jersey is the team name "Detroit" in blue on orange tackle twill and on the back is the name "Whitaker" in blue tackle twill. Below this is the player number "1" in blue on orange tackle twill. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
