A Legendary Yankee

Bill “Moose” Skowron, a formidable force on the baseball diamond, was a six-time All-Star first baseman for the New York Yankees. His tenure with the Yankees from 1954 to 1962 was marked by remarkable achievements, including participation in seven World Series. In the 1958 World Series, Skowron’s three-run homer in Game Seven was pivotal in securing yet another championship for the Yankees, etching his name in the annals of baseball history.

The front left tail of the jersey proudly displays the Wilson manufacturer’s tag, indicating a size “42” and providing washing instructions.

Across the chest, the jersey reads “NEW YORK,” while the back features a number change, now reading “67,” all crafted in navy blue felt.
