The Hall of Fame centerfielder Kirby Puckett wore this navy mesh Twins batting practice jersey during the 1988 and 1989 seasons. Puckett, a rookie in 1984, led the American League in hits during both of those seasons, collecting 449 base hits and hitting for a combined .348 batting average. Puckett's .339 average in 1989 was tops in the American League as he won his only batting title of his Hall of Fame career.
This mesh batting practice jersey is a navy pullover, with “Twins” and a paraph sewn on the chest in red and white tackle twill. Puckett’s number “34”, since retired by the Twins, is sewn on the back of the jersey in red and white tackle twill. A Rawlings logo is sewn on the right sleeve and a Rawlings size “46” tag is sewn on the inside of the front tail. Puckett has signed the “4” digit on the back of the jersey in black marker. This jersey displays moderate use and comes with a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema for the use and a LOA from JSA (Z67431) for Puckett’s signature.
