Before he began dominating National League pitching as a 19-year-old rookie, Bryce Harper’s final minor league stop was for the Syracuse Chiefs, the Washington Nationals Triple-A affiliate. This home white pullover jersey was worn by Bryce Harper during a throwback jersey day at Syracuse. The name “CHIEFS” appears across the chest with the headdress image of the Chief appears below. The lower front tail features an “OT Sports Authentic Jersey 48” manufacturer’s size tag, with two additional tags in the collar. The reverse simply has Harper’s number “34” and the MiLB logo. Purchased directly by our consignor directly from the Syracuse Chiefs in a 2012 online auction, the jersey is accompanied by an LOA on Syracuse Chiefs letterhead, signed by the General Manger John Simone, dated 9/28/12. This pre-rookie Bryce Harper with rock solid provenance is about as good as it gets.
