Dwight Evans’ 1976 Boston Red Sox Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Outfielder’s Legacy

Affectionately known to the Boston faithful as “Dewey,” Dwight Evans carved out a remarkable career as a strong-armed outfielder who could freeze baserunners in their tracks. Over time, he blossomed into one of the American League’s most formidable hitters. His prowess on the field and at the plate made him a beloved figure in Boston’s storied baseball history.

Jersey Details and Historical Significance

This particular jersey, a relic from the 1976 season, is a testament to Evans’ enduring legacy. Beneath the rear collar lies the McAuliffe manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a strip tag indicating the size “44.” On the front center tail, a strip tag denotes the year “1976,” alongside another strip tag with washing instructions. The front proudly displays “RED SOX,” while the back features the player number “24.” All numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill, reflecting the classic aesthetic of the era.

Evans has signed the front of the jersey in blue marker, with the signature rating a strong 8 in our opinion. The Tom Yawkey black memorial armband, once adorning the left sleeve, has been removed, though its outline remains visible. Additionally, a team repair is evident on the back of the left sleeve. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows outstanding use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA.
