1981 Rick Manning Cleveland Indians Game-Used Road Jersey

1981 Cleveland Indians Game-Worn Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Glimpse into the Past

Step back in time with this remarkable 1981 Cleveland Indians jersey, a testament to the rich history of Major League Baseball. This jersey, crafted by Rawlings, is a size “42” and features the manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, alongside a “SET 1 1981” flag tag. The jersey is adorned with the iconic “CLEVELAND” across the chest, and the player number “20” on the back, both rendered in striking navy blue on red tackle twill. The player name, “MANNING,” is elegantly displayed in navy blue tackle twill, sewn directly onto the grey fabric.

Restoration and Authenticity

While the player name has been restored, it retains its historical charm. The left sleeve bears the “Indians” team logo patch, which has been restored in an unprofessional manner, adding a unique character to this piece. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, shows appropriate use, making it a coveted item for any serious collector.
