Description
1967 Bob Gibson Game Worn Jersey. One of the fiercest competitors in the game's long history, Gibson one explained "I've played a couple of hundred games of tic-tac-toe with my little daughter and she hasn't beaten me yet. I've always had to win. I've got to win." And win he did. While his career total of 251 is certainly impressive enough, perhaps even more so is his record of seven and two in World Series games, including three he notched the year he wore this incredible jersey, giving up just three runs in twenty-seven innings of work. Quite possibly this is the very jersey he wore for his Game Four shut-out performance against Carl Yastrzemski and his American League Championship Red Sox. A season's worth of wear is clearly evident in the creamy white flannel that composes the body of the shirt, which remains 100% original and unaltered right down to the buttons on the chest. The Cardinals' chenille bird and bat logo has retained its colorful look as have the two-color felt identifiers. The name on back is particularly critical as the majority of Cardinals' flannels had the names removed prior to the following spring training. This one has survived gloriously, and the steeply arched "Gibson" above the "45" on the verso is unaltered, original, and majestic. A "Rawlings [size] 42" label in the lower left front tail is accompanied by a washing instructions label with a "Set 1 1967" flap tag attached to its right vertical quadrant edge. In between is a chain link stitch in Cardinals red reading "Gibson 67." It is perfect in all respects, matching all 1967 and 1968 exemplars. The cherry on top comes in the form of a 10/10 black sharpie signature from Gibson on the chest. A simply unimprovable Hall of Fame home white flannel from a World Series MVP season. Can it get any better? LOA from Lou Lampson. LOA from PSA/DNA (autograph). LOA from James SpAuction Info
