Hoyt Wilhelm’s 1967 Chicago White Sox Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Pitcher

Hoyt Wilhelm, a name synonymous with excellence in Major League Baseball, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. A World Series champion and an eight-time All-Star, Wilhelm’s career was marked by his remarkable achievements, including leading the MLB in ERA twice. His legacy is immortalized in the annals of baseball history, and his memorabilia continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This extraordinary jersey, worn by Wilhelm during his tenure with the Chicago White Sox, is a testament to his enduring legacy. The front left tail features a “Wilson” size “44” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, a hallmark of authenticity. Below it, a strip tag with “67 Set 1” is embroidered in navy blue chain-stitching, indicating its origin from the 1967 season.

While the player ID in the collar has been removed, the jersey’s authenticity is further underscored by the team’s “SOX” logo on the left chest and the player number “31” on both the right chest and back, crafted in navy blue on white tackle twill. Across the back, the player name “WILHELM” is restored in navy blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the pinstripe flannel jersey.
