George Brett’s 1977 Game-Used Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
An Iconic Legacy in Kansas City
George Brett, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, remains a revered figure in the annals of Major League Baseball. As the last man to truly threaten the elusive .400 batting average mark, Brett’s career is a testament to his prowess on the field. With a career batting average of .305 and an impressive 3,154 hits, Brett’s legacy is firmly etched in the history of the Kansas City Royals.
The Jersey: A Testament to Greatness
This remarkable jersey, worn by Brett during the 1977 season, is a rare and coveted piece of baseball memorabilia. Inside the rear neck, it features an atypical earlier Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “42,” complete with washing instructions. Adjacent to this is a box tag with the year “77” embroidered, marking its historical significance. Brett’s signature, in blue marker, graces the inside of the rear neck, rating an 8 in our expert opinion.
- Team Pride: Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “KANSAS CITY,” while the back showcases the player number “5,” both crafted in white tackle twill.
- Authentic Details: The left sleeve is adorned with a Royals team logo disc patch, adding to its authenticity.
- Condition: Despite very minor staining on the front, the jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows excellent use.
