Introduction to the Collection

Step into the rich tapestry of baseball history with these extraordinary Boston Red Sox jerseys, each a testament to the legacy of the game and the players who donned them. These jerseys are not just garments; they are relics of a bygone era, each telling a unique story of dedication, triumph, and the enduring spirit of America’s pastime.

Tim Vanegmond’s Jersey

The first piece in this remarkable collection is the jersey worn by Tim Vanegmond. On the left front tail, it proudly displays the “Russell” manufacturer’s tag, complete with wash instructions and a size “44” label. An attached flag tag indicates the fabric’s composition as “100% Polyester.” Notably, the right sleeve once bore the “MLB 125” patch, which has since been removed, leaving behind a subtle reminder of its storied past.

Rick Down’s 2001 Jersey

Next, we have the 2001 jersey worn by Rick Down, a piece that carries the weight of history with its American Flag patch at the back of the neck, a poignant symbol worn after the tragic events of 9/11. The left front tail features the “Russell” tag with wash instructions, alongside a flag tag marked “100% Polyester 50.” Adjacent to these is the “2001” label, while the right sleeve proudly displays the “100 Seasons AL” patch, a testament to the enduring legacy of the American League.

Wendel Kim’s 1997 Coaches Jersey

The final piece in this collection is the 1997 jersey worn by Wendel Kim, a coach whose influence extended beyond the field. The left front tail bears the “Russell” tag with wash instructions and a size “42” label, accompanied by the “1997” label. The right sleeve features the iconic “Jackie Robinson” patch, a tribute to the man who broke baseball’s color barrier. Kim’s signature graces the back number, rated an 8 in blue marker, adding a personal touch to this historic artifact.
