In 1944, the Browns beat the Yankees on the final day of the season to clinch the pennant and face the Cardinals in the World Series. The Browns were the visiting team for Game 1 when Galehouse wore this flannel uniform. He was the winning pitcher in the game, outlasting veteran World Series pitcher Mort Cooper. Inside the rear collar is the “Rawlings St. Louis” manufacturers tag. Attached is the jersey size “44” flag tag. On the left front tail is “Sensoth 44” embroidered in brown chain stitch. Galehouse recalls how he wore number 22 when he came to the Browns in 1941. In 1944, number 30 was made for a player named “Sansoth who did not play. When Galehouse was relieved of his Military obligation, he returned to wear number 30. Adjacent to the chain stitch is Galehouse’s signature done in blue marker rating an 8-9. Across the front is “ST. LOUIS.” On back is player number “30.” All numbers and letters are done in brown felt on orange felt. On the left sleeve is the war patch. Inside the rear waistband of the pants is “Sansoth” n brown chain stitch. Adjacent is the “Rawlings” manufacturers tag with attached size “38” tag. Inside the front buttons is “44” embroidered in brown stitch. The uniform shows nice game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. It is accompanied by a LOA from JSA as well as an additional LOA.
