Kevin Millwood’s Boston Braves Throwback Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Exquisite Artifact from the TBTC Series

Step into the rich tapestry of baseball history with this remarkable Boston Braves throwback jersey, worn by none other than Kevin Millwood. This jersey is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Braves and the storied career of Millwood, a pitcher who left an indelible mark on the game. The jersey is adorned with the iconic “BOSTON” across the chest and the player number “34” on the back, both crafted in vibrant red tackle twill, sewn directly onto the grey fabric.

Details of Craftsmanship and Authenticity

On the front left tail, the jersey proudly displays a “COOPERSTOWN COLLECTION Mitchell & Ness” manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of authenticity and quality. Below this, a tag embroidered with “T.B.C. 8-29-97” in white stitching adds a layer of historical significance. Although the TBTC series commenced on 8/29, it was on 8/30 that Millwood took the mound, making this jersey a unique artifact from that era.

Further enhancing its authenticity, the jersey features a “100% NYLON” size “XL” tag with washing instructions on the left inseam. The left sleeve is adorned with the Boston Braves’ team logo patch, a nod to the team’s illustrious past.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, Kevin Millwood has personally signed the jersey in the right chest area above the “BOSTON” lettering, using a black marker. In our expert opinion, the signature rates a 7 overall, making it a coveted piece for any collector. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
