As catcher Carlton Fisk wore this jersey in 1992 he could look back on a career stretching 4 decades which he started as the Rookie of the Year and ended as the all-time leader in home runs by a catcher and games caught. His Game 6 home run in 1975 World Series has gone down as one of baseball's most memorable moments and his feud with Thurman Munson kept alive a Red Sox-Yankees rivalry that still seethes to this day. This Chicago White Sox pin striped home jersey has the Gothic "Sox" in black and grey tackle twill on the front left chest and Fisk's soon to be retired number "72" in the same colors on the right. Russell Athletic size 50 label is sewn in the lower left front tail and a white strip tag with "92 Set 1" is added. A small black diamond is embroidered on the left sleeve as a memorial to two White Sox employees who passed away during the off season. The back features his number "72" in black and grey tackle twill. Two strips of color film are included showing Fisk wearing what appears to be this exact jersey, on August 6,1992. A great jersey from the last full season of Fisk's four decade Hall of Fame career. Letter of Authenticity from MEARS who graded this jersey AUTHENTIC.
