Kirby Puckett 1995 Minnesota Twins Game Used & Photomatched All-Star Game Jersey w/Puckett Family Letter & Resolution Photomatch

This button up home white jersey features "TWINS 34" on the front and "34" on back in red-on-blue tackle twill. The lower left tail of the jersey presents the Russell Manufacturers tag with size 50 as well as the "34-95" jersey/year swatch sewn in. The appropriate Twins team logo patch is located on the left sleeve while the Russell logo and 1995 All-Star Game patch is sewn on the right sleeve. The jersey shows quality overall game use as Kirby wore this coveted jersey throughout the 1995 season and All-Star Game. Puckett finished his final season in the Majors with 23 HR's, 99 RBI's and .314 BA before being forced into early retirement due to glaucoma. This jersey was conclusively photomatched as being the one that he wore in the 1995 All-Star game. There were several years in the 90's where players were issued 2 jerseys and donated/auctioned one for charity. This is THE actual jersey Kirby WORE in the 1995 All-Star Game. Kirby Puckett only kept a handful of game worn jerseys in his personal collection so these treasures are true gold.

** This lot originates from the personal collection of Kirby Puckett and will be accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from the Puckett family. **
