1978 Carl Yastrzemski Boston Red Sox Game-Used & Dual-Autographed Home Jersey

Carl Yastrzemski’s 1978 Boston Red Sox Jersey: A Timeless Treasure

A Legendary Career with the Boston Red Sox

In the annals of Major League Baseball, few names resonate with the same reverence as Carl Yastrzemski. Elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, Yastrzemski’s illustrious 23-year career with the Boston Red Sox is a testament to his enduring legacy. Known affectionately as “Yaz,” he achieved the rare feat of winning the Triple Crown, was named the American League MVP, and secured three AL batting championships. His contributions to the sport were so profound that the Red Sox retired his No. 8 jersey, and he was selected as an 18-time All-Star.

The 1978 Game-Worn Jersey

This particular jersey, dating back to 1978, is a remarkable artifact from Yastrzemski’s storied career. On the front center tail, it proudly displays a “1978” year tag alongside a tag with washing instructions. Inside, below the rear collar, is the “McAULIFFE UNIFORM CORP.” manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a size “42” flag tag. The iconic “RED SOX” lettering graces the chest, while the player number “8” adorns the back. All numbering and lettering are meticulously crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill.

Yastrzemski’s signature, in black pen, embellishes both the front and back of the jersey, beneath the player number. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey, in our opinion, shows light use, adding to its authenticity and allure. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA and an additional LOA that verifies the source of the jersey.
