1954 Rob Greenwood Philadelphia Phillies Game Worn Rookie Jersey
Terrific vintage look in this 1954 Philadelphia Phillies game worn during Rob Greenwood's rookie season. Strip tag in collar reads "Greenwood R" in black script stitching; left front tail has Wilson, size 44, and 1954 year tagging on left front tail. Traditional script Phillies is across the chest in maroon-on-white chenille lettering, number 26 is on back in same style. Ash gray coloring on this road top gives it a tremendous look and it is all original except for one button, which has been replaced. Great use displayed with some loose and missing stitching around the collar and a small stain on the back side; jersey has a very soft texture due to repeated washing. A 0.25x4.5" piece of material has been removed to repair a tear on the left shoulder, a practice not uncommon in that era. Prior to the start of his rookie season, only six players to reach the Majors were born in Mexico, making his brief two-year stint historic despite its short tenure.
