Ken Holtzman’s World Series Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Glimpse into Baseball’s Golden Era

Step back in time to an era when baseball was more than just a game; it was a national pastime that captured the hearts of millions. Among the legendary figures who graced the diamond was Ken Holtzman, a pitcher whose prowess on the mound was matched only by his dedication to the sport. We are proud to present a remarkable artifact from this era: Ken Holtzman’s jersey, believed to have been worn during the World Series.

Details of the Jersey

This extraordinary jersey is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined sports apparel of the time. The front center inside tail proudly displays the “McAuliffe Uniform Corp.” manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity. Adjacent to this are two additional tags: the jersey size “44” and the wash instructions tag, ensuring the garment’s preservation over the years.

On the front left chest, the iconic “A’s” is emblazoned in white on green tackle twill, a nod to the team’s storied history. The player number “30” graces both the front right and the back of the jersey, while the name “HOLTZMAN” is elegantly displayed across the back in green tackle twill. These elements combine to create a visual masterpiece that captures the essence of baseball’s golden age.
