Having played nine seasons in New York through 1995, RANDY VELARDE returned late in 2001 just in time to catch the postseason. This is his 2001 NY Yankees game-used World Series road knit jersey. On the left front tail is the "Russell Athletic" manufacturer's label with wash instructions. Attached is a white flag tag with size "48" and material "100% Polyester." Across the front of the jersey is "New York" done in blue on white tackle twill. On the back is the player's number "25" done in blue on white tackle twill. On the back neck is an American flag patch. On the left sleeve is the official "2001 World Series" patch, below which is a black armband done in elastic felt in memory of the victims of 9/11. On the right sleeve is the official "100 Seasons American League 1901-2001" patch. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a letter from Yankees-Steiner Collectibles.
