Tony Oliva 1991 Minnesota Twins road gray game used jersey worn by the recently named Hall of Famer during the memorable 1991 World Series against the Atlanta Braves. The World Series patch adorns the right sleeve, Rawlings size 50 manufacturers tag sewn into the collar along with the "91 1 " year and set tag. The '91 World Series was one of the most memorable Fall Classics ever played as the Twins defeated the Braves with a walk off hit by Gene Larkin in extra innings as 4 of the 7 games ended on the last at-bat. This jersey exhibits light to moderate overall use and was worn by Oliva during the regular season, ALCS and World Series. The outline of the Twins 30th Anniversary patch is visible on the right sleeve. These patches were removed after the ALCS and World Series patches were applied to the same spot. Signed on the front by Oliva in black marker. Oliva currently charges $500 to sign game used items making this one even more attractive to collectors.
