Billy Martin will always be remembered for his fiery personality, both on and off the field. Cleveland General Manager Frank Lane once said, "He's the kind of guy you'd like to kill if he's playing on the other team, but you'd like ten of him on your side." On the left front tail of the jersey is the "Wilson" manufacturers size 42 tag. Inside the back collar is a strip tag with "MARTIN 83 2" embroidered. Across the front of the jersey is "NEW YORK." On the back of the jersey is the player number "1." All lettering and numbering is done in navy blue on white tackle twill. The black memorial armband has been removed from the left sleeve. The jersey shows wear and besides the removal of the black armband appears to have no alterations of any kind.
