A sinkerballer with impeccable control, Tommy John's major league career spanned 26 seasons and seven U.S. presidents, both Major League records. In the neck of this road knit jersey is a gray patch reading "John 86 2" which is done in blue chain stitch. The numbers denote the year and set number, respectively. On the left front tail is the "Wilson" exclusive label and adjacent is the size tag "46." Across the front of the shirt is the name "New York" and on the back is the player number "25." Both the name and number are made of blue on white tackle twill. There is an autograph on the back of the jersey which rates a 7. The autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA. There is a black memorial armband which is missing from the left sleeve. The jersey shows game use and with the exception of the missing armband, appears to have no other alterations of any kind.
