Rare 1991 New York Yankees Game-Worn Jerseys
A Glimpse into Baseball History
The New York Yankees, a name synonymous with baseball excellence, have a storied history filled with legendary players and unforgettable moments. Among the treasures that capture the essence of this iconic franchise are the game-worn jerseys from the 1991 season. These jerseys, donned by players who graced the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium, are a testament to the enduring legacy of the Yankees.
Details of the Jerseys
Each jersey is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, reflecting the rich tradition of the Yankees. The front-left tail of these knit pinstripe jerseys features the Wilson manufacturer label with three attached flag-tags: “48”, “DX”, and “TAPERED”. Inside the back of the collar, a set tag reads “Balboni 91 1”, indicating the player and year. The interlocking (NY) logo on the left breast and the player number (45) on the back are both meticulously crafted in navy tackle twill.
Another jersey from this collection bears the same Wilson label with flag-tags: “SIZE 44”, “DX”, and “TAPERED”. The set tag inside the collar reads “R. Kelley 91 2”, with the interlocking (NY) logo and player number (39) also in navy tackle twill. These jerseys are properly tagged, presented to us as game-used, and in our opinion, show appropriate wear.
