A Glimpse into Baseball’s Golden Era

Johnny Antonelli, a name synonymous with excellence on the baseball diamond, was a six-time All-Star and a World Series champion. His prowess on the mound was further highlighted when he led the National League in ERA, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s greats. Now, collectors and enthusiasts have the rare opportunity to own a piece of this illustrious history with his 1955 game-worn jersey.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Authenticity

This remarkable jersey is a testament to the craftsmanship of its era. On the front left tail, it proudly displays a “TIM McAULIFFE” manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity. Adjacent to this is a size “44” tag, accompanied by a tag with washing instructions and a flag that reads, “SET 1 1955.” These details are meticulously preserved, ensuring the jersey’s integrity and historical value.

Adding to its authenticity, the inside below the rear collar features a felt strip tag with the player name, “Antonelli,” embroidered in black stitching. Across the chest, the iconic “GIANTS” is emblazoned, while the back showcases the player number “43,” both crafted in black felt on orange felt lettering sewn directly onto the flannel jersey.
