1976 Carl Yastrzemski Boston Red Sox Game-Used & Signed Home Jersey

Carl Yastrzemski’s 1976 Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Carl Yastrzemski, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, is celebrated as an 18-time All-Star, a seven-time Gold Glove winner, and a member of the prestigious 3000 hit club. As the Boston Red Sox’s all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, Yastrzemski’s legacy is etched in the annals of baseball history. His remarkable career reached its zenith in 1967 when he led the Red Sox to their first American League pennant in over two decades.

The 1976 Jersey: A Rare Artifact

This extraordinary jersey, worn by Yastrzemski during the 1976 season, is a testament to his enduring impact on the game. Inside, beneath the collar, lies the McAuliffe manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a box tag indicating the size “42.” The front middle tail features a strip tag denoting the year “1976” alongside washing instructions. Notably, the left sleeve bears the rare “MASSACHUSETTS BICENTENNIAL” patch, which may have been restored.

Across the chest, the iconic “RED SOX” is emblazoned, while the back proudly displays the player number “8.” All numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill. Yastrzemski himself signed the front of the jersey in black marker, adding the inscription “HOF 89,” with the signature rating an impressive 8 in our opinion.

Game-Used and Authenticated

This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a relic of baseball history. Presented to us as game-used, it shows excellent use, further authenticated by the absence of the Tom Yawkey armband, indicating it was worn earlier in the 1976 season before Yawkey’s passing in July. Accompanied by an ALOA from JSA, this jersey stands as a testament to Yastrzemski’s storied career.
