Rickey Henderson’s 2002 Boston Red Sox Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Artifact from a Legendary Career

This particular jersey, worn early in the 2002 season, is a testament to his enduring impact on the game. The absence of the “9” for Ted Williams on this jersey marks it as a unique piece from Henderson’s time with the Boston Red Sox.

The jersey features the “Russell” manufacturer’s tag on the left front tail, complete with wash instructions and an attached flag tag indicating “100% Polyester 44”. Beneath this, the “2002” label confirms its vintage. Across the front, the bold “BOSTON” lettering stands out, while the back proudly displays the player number “35” and the name “HENDERSON”, all crafted in red on navy blue tackle twill. The rear collar is adorned with the official MLB embroidered logo patch, and the left sleeve bears the Russell embroidered “R” logo.
