Carl Yastrzemski’s 1964 Game-Worn Jersey: A Tribute to a Red Sox Legend

A Legendary Career with the Boston Red Sox

Carl Yastrzemski, affectionately known as “Yaz,” is a name that resonates with reverence among baseball aficionados. Elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, Yastrzemski’s illustrious 23-year career with the Boston Red Sox is a testament to his enduring legacy. His achievements include winning the prestigious Triple Crown, being named the American League MVP, and securing the title of American League batting champion three times. The Boston Red Sox honored his contributions by retiring his iconic No. 8 jersey, a symbol of his indelible impact on the franchise.

The Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

This remarkable jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a tangible piece of Yastrzemski’s storied career. It features the “TIM McAULIFFE INC.” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, which has been restored, with the number “2” inscribed in pen. Below this, a size “40” tag is attached, although the jersey measures larger, indicative of its authentic game-worn status. The presence of a “’64” year tag further cements its historical significance.

Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “RED SOX,” while the back bears the player number “8.” The numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in red on navy blue felt, sewn directly onto the flannel fabric, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era.
