Felipe Alou’s 1966 Game-Used Braves Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Stellar Season for Felipe Alou

In the annals of baseball history, few seasons stand out as brightly as Felipe Alou’s remarkable 1966 campaign. That year, Alou earned one of his three All-Star nominations, leading the National League in hits, runs, and total bases. His prowess at the plate was unmatched, as he set career highs with a .327 batting average and 31 home runs, alongside 74 RBIs. This jersey is a testament to his extraordinary achievements during that unforgettable season.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey itself is a masterpiece of baseball memorabilia, crafted with the utmost attention to detail. On the front left tail, a “Rawlings” size “42” manufacturer’s tag is prominently displayed, accompanied by a tag with washing instructions. Inside the rear collar, a felt strip tag is embroidered with “Alou 1966 1,” marking its authenticity and connection to the legendary player.

• Team Insignia: Across the chest, the iconic “Braves” name is emblazoned, with the player number “29” appearing on both the front and back.
• Design Elements: All numbering and lettering are executed in red on navy blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the grey flannel jersey.
• Team Logo: The left sleeve proudly displays the team’s logo patch, adding a touch of heritage to this historic piece.

Signature and Provenance
