Bob Lemon is a name that is synonymous with success on the Major League level. This Hall of Famer won 20 games or more seven times and as a manager he was able to lead the 1978 New York Yankees to a World Championship.

Across the front of the jersey is the name "Kansas City" and on the back is the player number "21". Both the name and number are made of blue tackle twill. On the left sleeve is the Kansas City Royals patch. The jersey shows wear and appears to have no alterations of any kind.
