This jersey is not just a piece of fabric; it is a testament to the rich history of Major League Baseball and the enduring legacy of one of its most celebrated players. Lolich, known for his exceptional pitching skills and his pivotal role in the Detroit Tigers’ 1968 World Series victory, brought his talents to the Mets, leaving an indelible mark on the team and its fans.

Detailed Craftsmanship and Design

The jersey features the iconic “Mets” script across the chest, with the player number “29” prominently displayed on both the front and back. The numbers and lettering are meticulously crafted in blue on orange tackle twill, sewn directly onto the classic white pinstripe jersey. This attention to detail highlights the craftsmanship and quality synonymous with game-worn MLB jerseys.

On the center tail, a “Rawlings” size “48” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions is present, accompanied by blue staining on the rear tail, presumably from multiple washings. Inside the rear collar fold, a white strip tag with “48 76 29” embroidered in blue chain-stitching adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this piece.

• Signature: Lolich’s autograph graces the front right shoulder area, signed in black pen, and in our opinion, rates a 6 overall.
