19-year Major League veteran Bob Watson wore this blue Atlanta Braves pullover road jersey during the 1984 MLB season. This was the final year in the majors for Watson, who made his debut as a 20-year old with Grady Hatton’s Houston Astros in 1966. The lifetime .295 hitter played sparingly in his final season, collecting two homers and 12 RBI in 19 starts. This offered Braves road jersey has “Atlanta” and Watson’s number “8” sewn on the chest in blue and white tackle twill. “WATSON” is sewn across the back shoulders in blue tackle twill over a matching light blue nameplate. A second “8” is sewn on the back of the jersey in blue and white tackle twill. A black memorial armband for Tommie Aaron is sewn on the left sleeve. An “84” year tag is sewn on the front left tail and a Wilson size “44” tag is sewn on the back inside collar. Watson has signed the lower left chest of this jersey in black marker, inscribing “1984” below his signature. This jersey shows light to moderate wear and comes with a LOA from noted game used expert Dave Miedema for the game use and a COA from JSA (CC55428) for Watson’s signature.
