Stan Musial’s 1966 Road Grey Flannel Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

Celebrating “Stan the Man”

Stan Musial, affectionately known as “Stan the Man,” is a towering figure in the annals of baseball history. A record 24-time All-Star selection, Musial’s career is a testament to consistency and excellence. With an astounding 3,630 hits, he ranks fourth all-time, a feat achieved with unwavering loyalty to a single team. His remarkable balance of 1,815 hits both at home and on the road underscores his reputation as the most consistent hitter of his era. Musial’s legacy is further embellished by 475 home runs, three National League MVP awards, and three World Series championships. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, his first-ballot entry was a foregone conclusion.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This exquisite road grey flannel jersey, a relic from 1966, is a testament to Musial’s enduring legacy. On the left front tail, the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag proudly displays the jersey size “44.” Below, “Musial” and “66” are meticulously embroidered in red chain stitch, a nod to the year and the legend himself. A wash instructions label with an attached flag tag “SET 1 1966” is positioned directly below. Across the front, the iconic “Cardinals on a Bat” logo is embroidered in vibrant red and yellow chain stitch, bordered by navy. The coach’s number “6” graces both the front and back, with “MUSIAL” emblazoned on the back, all in red on navy felt.

A Signature of Authenticity

Adding to the jersey’s allure is Musial’s signature, a large and bold autograph in blue marker, rated an 8 for its clarity and prominence. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as coach’s worn and in our opinion, shows wear. Accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA for the signature, this jersey is in all original and magnificent condition.
