Managing was McKechnie's forte. He won pennants in three cities, a record that has never been matched. In 1925, McKechnie won his first pennant and defeated the Senators in the World Series. In the neck of the jersey is the "Wilson" label and adjacent is the size "42." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Indians" in script-style letters and on the back is the player number "41." Both the name and number are made of red on blue felt. The jersey shows wear and appears to have no alterations of any kind. In our opinion, this is an authentic Cleveland Indians home flannel coach's jersey worn by Bill McKechnie, circa 1948.
