Offered is a youth Lefty Gomez jersey likely dating to the close of his tenure with the New York Yankees circa 1940-42, which coincided with the births of his first two children. Jersey has been custom constructed from one of Lefty's old Yankees jerseys as the outline of a removed uniform number 22, which Lefty only wore during his rookie season in 1930, is clearly visible on the reverse beneath the currently applied navy felt number 11, which was worn by Lefty from 1932-42 with New York. A frayed Spalding tag is also present in the collar along with a red chain stitched "V Gomez 11" strip tag. Jersey measures approximately 13" across the chest and 15" through the torso. (97Y0230)
