Lot # 47: 1993 George Brett Kansas City Royals Game-Used Road Jersey with EMK Patch - Phil Wood LOA

From his final season of MLB play comes this George Brett game-worn 1993 Kansas City Royals road jersey. A first ballot Hall of Famer with a 98.2% approval rating, Brett spent his entire 21-year MLB career with the Royals, where he is considered the franchise's all-time best player. Regarded as one of the greatest third basemen in the history of the game, Brett went out with a bang, racking up 53 extra base hits and 75 RBI during his final MLB season in 1993. Features a variety of patches and labels, including the Royals name and a number 5 patch of the front, Brett's name and number 5 patch on the back, a Russell Athletic size 44 factory label on the left front tail, with a "Set 2 1993" swatch sewn on below, a Royals 1969-1993 25th Anniversary patch on the right sleeve, and an EMK commemorative patch on the left sleeve, for team founder and longtime owner Ewing M. Kauffman, who passed away on August 1, 1993. The accompanying LOA offers this opinion: "I have examined several Royals' jerseys of a similar vintage, and this one is solidly genuine." Signs of wear/use are light to moderate, with the most notable condition being a moderate loss of elasticity on the sleeve end bands. All in all, this vintage gamer presents handsomely, and it is well-suited for prominent display. Phil Wood LOA.
