Lot #831:

Early 1980s Goose Gossage New York Yankees Batting Practice-Worn Mesh Jersey

On the front left tail is a “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Attached below is a size “XL” flag tag. On the left chest is the team’s “NY” logo and on the back is the player number “54”. These are done in white tackle twill sewn directly onto the navy blue mesh jersey. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate wear.
