1955 Stan Musial St. Louis Cardinals Home Flannel Jersey

Stan Musial’s 1955 Game-Worn Jersey: A Timeless Treasure

A Legendary Career

Stan “The Man” Musial’s illustrious career with the St. Louis Cardinals spanned an incredible 22 years, during which he became a beacon of excellence in Major League Baseball. As a 24-time All-Star, three-time World Series Champion, three-time MVP, and seven-time National League batting champion, Musial’s achievements are etched in the annals of baseball history. His career batting average of .331 stands as a testament to his prowess at the plate, and his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, during his first year of eligibility, further cements his status as one of the game’s greatest hitters.

The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

This remarkable jersey, worn by Stan Musial in 1955, is a rare and significant piece of baseball memorabilia. The rear collar features the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a size “44” tag. Embroidered in red script style chain stitching on the front left tail is “Stan Musial,” adding a personal touch to this historic garment. The inside front left tail bears a strip tag with washing instructions and an attached flag tag reading “SET 1 1955.”

Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “Cardinals” in red on blue writing, beneath the iconic “birds on a bat” logo, rendered in gold, red, and blue embroidery. The back of the jersey features Musial’s player number “6” in red on navy blue felt, a symbol of his enduring legacy with the Cardinals.
