Details of the Jersey

The jersey is a size “48” as indicated by the “Majestic” manufacturer’s tag on the front left tail, accompanied by an “MLB” hologram with serial number “EK 869892”. The outer left seam proudly displays a “COOL BASE” tag, ensuring comfort and performance. Inside, the left inseam reveals two tags: one reading “SET 1 2012” and the other detailing the fabric composition as “100% POLYESTER” with wash instructions.

• Player Number and Name: The number “61” graces both the front and back, while “FREEMAN” is emblazoned across the back, all in scarlet red on navy blue tackle twill.
• World Series Champions Patch: The left sleeve proudly bears the Cardinals “2011 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS” patch, a symbol of triumph embroidered in a palette of yellow, green, bronze, white, red, and navy blue.
• Signature and Authentication: Freeman has signed the “6” on the back in gold marker, adding the inscriptions “61” and “GAME USED”. The signature, in our opinion, rates a 7, and is authenticated by a “JSA” sticker with serial number “L88215”.
