A star southpaw with a powerful arm, KENNY ROGERS is a three-time gold glove winner and the pitcher of a perfect game in 1994. He was a part of the Yankee bullpen during their historic 1996 World Series victory. This is Kenny Rogers' 1997 NY Yankees game-used road knit jersey. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic Diamond Collection" manufacturer's label with size "46." Attached is a white flag tag with material "100% Polyester," beneath which is a white flag tag with "2" extra body length." Adjacent is a faded white tag with "Rogers 97." Across the front of the jersey is "New York" done in blue on white tackle twill. On the back is the player number "17" done in blue on white tackle twill. The jersey shows game-use and, with exception to the removal of the Jackie Robinson patch on the sleeve, appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a letter from Yankees-Steiner Collectibles.
