Frank Thomas’s 1991 Game-Used Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Season for a Legendary Player
In the annals of baseball history, few players have left as indelible a mark as Frank Thomas. Known as “The Big Hurt,” Thomas’s 1991 season was nothing short of spectacular. He earned one of his four Silver Slugger Awards by hitting an impressive .318, with 32 home runs and 109 RBIs. His performance that year was so outstanding that he finished third in the American League MVP voting. A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Thomas was inducted in 2014, and his No. 35 jersey has been retired by the Chicago White Sox, a testament to his enduring legacy.
The Jersey: A Testament to Excellence
This remarkable jersey, worn by Frank Thomas during his iconic 1991 season, is a treasure for any baseball memorabilia collector. The front left tail features a “Rawlings” size “46” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions, accompanied by a PSA/DNA sticker, “U88707.” Adjacent to this is a flag tag reading “SET 1 1991,” confirming its authenticity and connection to that memorable season.
Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “Chicago,” with the player number “35” appearing on both the front and back. The player name “THOMAS” is emblazoned across the back, all in black on white tackle twill sewn directly onto the grey fabric. This jersey is not just a piece of clothing; it is a symbol of Thomas’s prowess and the Chicago White Sox’s storied history.
