1944 Denny Galehouse St. Louis Browns World Series Game-Used & Autographed Flannel Uniform

Galehouse’s 1944 World Series Flannel Uniform: A Historic Baseball Relic

A Momentous Victory in Baseball History

In the annals of baseball history, the 1944 season stands out as a remarkable chapter, particularly for the St. Louis Browns. On the final day of the season, the Browns triumphed over the Yankees, securing their place in the World Series against the formidable St. Louis Cardinals. This pivotal game marked the beginning of a legendary series, with Denny Galehouse taking the mound as the visiting team’s pitcher in Game 1.

The Legendary Flannel Uniform

The flannel uniform worn by Galehouse during this historic game is a testament to the era’s craftsmanship and the player’s indomitable spirit. Inside the rear collar, the uniform proudly displays the “Rawlings St. Louis” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a jersey size “44” flag tag. Galehouse’s signature, rendered in blue marker, graces the uniform, earning a strong rating of 8 in our expert opinion.

Across the front of the jersey, the name “ST. LOUIS” is emblazoned, while the back bears the player number “30.” These elements are meticulously crafted in brown on orange felt, capturing the essence of the team’s identity. Notably, the left sleeve features a war patch, a poignant reminder of the era’s historical context.

A Unique Provenance

Inside the rear waistband of the accompanying pants, the name “Sansoth” is embroidered in brown chain stitch, alongside the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag with an attached size “38” tag. The number “44” is also embroidered inside the front buttons, adding to the uniform’s authenticity and historical significance.

Galehouse’s journey with the Browns is equally captivating. Initially wearing #22 from 1941 to 1943, he transitioned to #30 in 1944, a number originally intended for a player named Sensoth who never played. Upon returning from military obligations, Galehouse donned the #30 jersey for the remainder of the season, further cementing its place in baseball lore.
