Harry Danning’s Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Baseball History
A Glimpse into the Golden Era of Baseball
Harry Danning, a name synonymous with defensive prowess, graced the baseball diamond with his exceptional skills during the late 1930s and early 1940s. Earning four consecutive All-Star appearances from 1938 to 1941, Danning was a cornerstone of the New York Giants’ lineup. His legacy is immortalized in this remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia, a jersey that echoes the golden era of America’s pastime.
Craftsmanship and Authenticity
The jersey, a masterpiece of its time, features the iconic “NEW YORK” emblazoned across the front, with the player number “3” proudly displayed on the back. The lettering and numbering are meticulously crafted in blue on red felt, a testament to the era’s attention to detail. Inside the rear collar, the “A.G. SPALDING & BROS.” manufacturer’s tag stands as a hallmark of authenticity, accompanied by a strip tag with “Danning” elegantly stitched in red.
Presented to us as game-used, this jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. The zipper remains intact, preserving the garment’s original integrity. Notably, the number on the back has been professionally restored with a matching “3” sourced from a period NY Giants jersey, ensuring its historical accuracy.
