Lot # 1148: 1998 Don Baylor National League All-Star Game Batting Practice/Pregame-Used Jersey with Phil Wood & Family LOA

Outstanding batting practice/pregame jersey worn by 1998 National League All-Star coach Don Baylor, who joined the staff of manager Jim Leyland for the Midsummer Classic. Originating directly from Baylor's wife after his untimely passing, the green nylon mesh jersey bears "NATIONAL" across the front in white-on-purple full block letters with silver trim, with the second "A" represented by the Colorado Rockies' mountain logo (Baylor managed the Rockies during the season). The jersey remains in excellent condition, likely due to its short window of use during pregame festivities. Baylor was a perennial fan favorite, both as a player and a coach, making this is a desirable memento from his storied career. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Becky Baylor, Don's wife, dated October 22, 2019, a Phil Wood LOA.
