For consideration, 1979 Wilson New York Yankees Luis Tiant game worn jersey. Manufactured by Wilson. Originally issued with Tiant’s #23. After leaving the team, the jersey was sent down to the minor leagues where it was re-issued as #75.
Steiner Sports sold the jersey bearing #75. Our consignor purchased the jersey and sent it to Lon Lewis for restoration. A detailed invoice from Lon Lewis documenting the restoration is included. Mr. Lewis restored the uniform using modern, but exact numbering, back to Tiant’s number 23.
Jersey was recently autographed by Tiant and he added the description, “Luis Tiant, #23, 1979 Yankees”.
