1979-86 Jim Rooker Pittsburgh Pirates Home Jersey (MEARS LOA/Rooker LOA)

Offered is a Pittsburgh Pirates home jersey which originated from the collection of hurler John Rooker, who played for the team from 1973-80. A 1979-86 era Wilson size 42 tag is sewn in the collar while "Pirates" and number 19 are also sewn to the white knit pullover. A LOA signed by Rooker stating this is a game worn jersey from either the 1974-75 season will also attend, though based on the 1979-86 era Wilson tag, the fact that Rawlings provided the Pirates with their home jerseys for the 1974-75 seasons and the jersey showing no discernible use we do not agree with his assessment that this is a game worn jersey from the 1974-75 seasons.
