Presented here is a game used Los Angeles Dodgers Road jersey worn by both Hoyt Wilhelm and Doug Rau during the 1972 season and signed by Hall of Famer Wilhelm. Rau, who made his MLB debut with the Dodgers in 1972, posted a record of 2-2 with an ERA of 2.20 with 19 strikeouts during his rookie campaign. The 1972 season was the last of Wilhem's 20-year career, and the famed right-hander posted a record of 0-1 with an ERA of 4.62 with 9 strikeouts during his rookie season. This presented Dodger's gray six-button road jersey features "DODGERS" in blue cursive Dodger tackle twill with a paraph across the jersey's chest. The number "31" appears on the chest in red Dodger tackle twill. A Rawlings "THE MARK OF A PRO" size "42" manufacturer's tag appears on the inside collar. The number "72" written in blue marker by an unknown hand appears on the jersey's left front tail. The number "31" appears in blue Dodger tackle twill on the back of the jersey. The remnants of "RAU" appear on the back of the jersey and indicate that both Rau and Wilhelm could have possibly worn the jersey during the 1972 season, a common practice that teams recycled jerseys to other players. Wilhelm's bold and clear signature appears across the chest of the jersey with a black marker. The jersey displays heavy evidence of game use and contains fraying and detachment of the number "31" on the back of the jersey, three large tears in the fabric below the number "31" on the back of the jersey, and faint sweat stains around the collar. The game used Los Angeles Dodgers road jersey worn by both Hoyt Wilhelm and Doug Rau during the 1972 season and signed by Hall of Famer Wilhelm comes with an LOA from Beckett Authentication (AA13936) and an LOA from noted game used baseball jersey expert William Henderson for the game use.
