Don Kessinger’s 1969 Chicago Cubs Road Flannel Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Glimpse into Baseball’s Golden Era

Step back in time to the vibrant era of 1969, a year that marked a significant chapter in the storied history of Major League Baseball. Among the treasures from this period is the remarkable road flannel jersey worn by the legendary Don Kessinger, a six-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner. This jersey is not merely a garment; it is a testament to Kessinger’s exceptional career and the enduring legacy of the Chicago Cubs.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Authenticity

The jersey is a pristine example of the craftsmanship that defined baseball attire in the late 1960s. On the front left tail, the Wilson manufacturer’s tag proudly displays the size “40” along with washing instructions, a hallmark of authenticity. Below this, the year “1969” is meticulously embroidered, anchoring the jersey in its historical context. Inside the collar, a strip tag reads “11-69-4-40,” further verifying its provenance.

Across the chest, the iconic “CHICAGO” is emblazoned, with the player number “11” prominently featured below and on the back. The blue tackle twill used for the numbering and lettering adds a touch of elegance and durability to this classic piece. The right sleeve bears the MLB “100TH ANNIVERSARY” patch, while the left sleeve proudly displays the Cubs team logo patch, celebrating the rich heritage of the franchise.
