Historic New York Yankees Jerseys: A Tribute to Baseball Legacy
Elliott Maddox’s Coaches-Worn Jersey
The Elliott Maddox jersey is a remarkable piece of baseball memorabilia, embodying the rich history of the New York Yankees. This jersey, presented to us as coaches-worn, is a testament to the legendary status of the Yankees in the world of baseball.
On the front left tail, the jersey features a Wilson manufacturer’s tag, size “40”, complete with washing instructions and a Steiner hologram, ensuring its authenticity. The rear collar proudly displays a strip tag embroidered with “Maddux 81 2” in navy blue, marking its unique identity. The iconic “NEW YORK” is emblazoned across the chest, while the coach number “6” adorns the back, both crafted in navy blue on white tackle twill.
Elliott Maddox himself signed the front of the jersey in blue pen, with the signature rating an impressive 8 in our opinion. This jersey is not just a garment but a piece of history, capturing the essence of the Yankees’ legacy.
Pat Clements’ Game-Used Jersey
The Pat Clements jersey is another extraordinary artifact from the Yankees’ storied past. Presented to us as game-used, this jersey reflects the dedication and spirit of the players who wore it on the field.
On the front left tail, the jersey showcases a Wilson manufacturer’s tag with a Steiner hologram serial number “12235” and washing instructions. A hanging flag tag reads “42 CARE ON REVERSE”, adding to its authenticity. The rear collar features a strip tag embroidered with “Clements 87 2” in navy blue, marking its historical significance.
Notably, the left sleeve bears the number “1” in navy blue tackle twill, commemorating the legendary Billy Martin. The “NEW YORK” across the chest and player number “6” on the back are both crafted in navy blue on white tackle twill, echoing the timeless design of the Yankees’ uniforms.
- Historical Significance: Clements wore this jersey during the 1987-88 seasons, and it was a holdover in inventory when the commemorative “1” patch was added in 1990.
- Authenticity: The jersey is properly tagged and shows appropriate use, reflecting its genuine game-worn status.
- Commemorative Patch: The addition of the Billy Martin patch adds a layer of historical depth and reverence.
