1970s Nestor Chylak Hall of Fame Umpire Game Worn Jacket & Pants

Umpires usually draw the ire of fans and baseball players alike. One a select few are deemed Hall of Fame worthy.

All it takes is one blown call or unsightly move and an umpire can be branded for life. Nestor Chylak was relegated as one of the finest to ever take the field. Offered is a jacket used by Chylak along with his pants. These were originally sourced from his family, although no paperwork attends verifying such a claim.

The offered maroon blazer has an American League patch on the right breast and Ralph DeConto manufacturer's patch on the inside. There is some material pulling away on the inside.

The navy blue pants have "NC" printed on the inside Lieman's manufacturer's tag.
