Former Major League manager Jim Leyland won 1,769 games in 22 seasons as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, Colorado Rockies and Detroit Tigers. Leyland spent his first 11 of those seasons in Pittsburgh, where he was Manager of the Year in 1990 and 1992, leading the Pirates to three consecutive National League East titles. Leyland also was Manager of the Year for the Detroit Tigers in 2006.

     On August 11, 2012, the Detroit Tigers visited the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas and wore “throwback” uniforms for that specific game. Manager Jim Leyland wore this Majestic size 44 pullover gray Detroit Tigers road jersey for that game. This jersey was modeled after the 1976 style and features “DETROIT” sewn across the front in block letters with navy blue and orange tackle twill. The v-neck has a ribbed navy blue, white and orange pattern with each sleeve having thick ribbed material navy blue, white and orange stripes. The Majestic tag is sewn on the bottom front left tail with a team strip tag that reads “10 44 1976”. The back of the jersey features “LEYLAND” sewn on in navy blue above his number “10” that is sewn on in navy blue and orange tackle twill. The left sleeve has a white circular “DETROIT 1776-1976” patch. Leyland signed his name vertically in silver marker on the “1” and inscribed “Game Used Turn Back The Clock” vertically on the left side of the “0”. This jersey shows light use and comes with a COA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (B53107) and a LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
