The world of baseball memorabilia is rich with history and stories, and the Tim McAuliffe Inc. “Cronin” jersey stands as a testament to the sport’s enduring legacy. This remarkable piece, adorned with the name “BOSTON” across the front, has been meticulously restored to reflect its original glory. The back proudly displays the manager number “4,” also restored, both crafted in navy blue felt, a color synonymous with the team’s storied past.

In the back collar of this historic jersey lies the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag, a hallmark of quality and authenticity. Accompanying this is the size “44” flag tag, indicative of the jersey’s tailored fit for a professional athlete.
