Description

Presented is a rare Ken Harrelson game worn jersey that is a rare style from the 1970 Cleveland Indians. The Indians 3-D road flannel in pristine, unaltered state. This outstanding specimen is more than rare. A few roads and homes (equally beautiful) have surfaced over the years, but most have restored fronts or restored numerals. Some jersey backs were even restored by the team with original 3-D numerals, but precious few exist in their unaltered state. The C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D front is priceless, as is the beautiful rounded block #40 on the verso. Chief Wahoo is original on the left sleeve. The 7-button front is still intact as is the tail labeling featuring Spalding 44, washing instructions and adjoining flag tag, Set 1 #8P 1970.”  Overall, shows mild wear characteristics with thread fraying and soft malleable tagging. Interestingly, the Indians discontinued the style after only one season making this a very rare style.
