Maury Wills’ 1972 Dodgers Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Player’s Legacy

Maury Wills, a name synonymous with speed and skill, left an indelible mark on Major League Baseball. His accolades are a testament to his prowess on the field: 1962 World Series MVP, six-time National League Stolen Base Leader, two-time Gold Glove winner, three-time World Series Champion, and a seven-time All-Star. Each of these achievements reflects his exceptional talent and dedication to the game.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This cream knit jersey is a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia. On the front left tail, a set tag reading “Set A 1972” is stitched in blue, marking its authenticity and connection to the era. Inside the back of the neck, the Goodman & Sons label with size (40) is prominently displayed, a hallmark of quality craftsmanship.

Adding to its allure, Maury Wills has signed inside the back of the neck in blue marker, with the signature rating a 6 in our opinion. The team name “Dodgers” graces the front in blue tackle twill, while the player number “30” is elegantly displayed below in red tackle twill and on the back in blue tackle twill. The player name “WILLS” is proudly emblazoned across the back in blue tackle twill, completing this exquisite piece.
