Dave McNally’s 1968 Baltimore Orioles Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Pitcher’s Attire

Step into the world of baseball legends with this extraordinary piece of sports memorabilia: Dave McNally’s 1968 Baltimore Orioles game-worn jersey. McNally, a two-time World Series champion, etched his name in the annals of baseball history with his remarkable achievements, including leading the American League in wins in 1970. This jersey, a testament to his prowess on the mound, is a rare and coveted artifact for any serious collector of baseball memorabilia.

Authentic Details and Craftsmanship

The jersey features the iconic “Baltimore” script across the chest, with the player number “19” prominently displayed on both the front and back. These elements are meticulously crafted in orange on black felt lettering, sewn directly onto the grey flannel fabric. The attention to detail is further evidenced by the “SPALDING” manufacturer’s tag on the front left, accompanied by a size “44” flag tag. Below, a tag with washing instructions and a “SET 1 1968” flag tag complete the ensemble. On the inside of the rear collar, a felt strip tag with “43 Set 2 68 19” is embroidered in black chain-stitching, adding a touch of authenticity and historical significance.

A Jersey with a Story

This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a narrative of McNally’s illustrious career.
