Chicago White Sox star Luis Robert wore this Ciego de Avila Tigres jersey in the Cuban National Series circa 2013-15. Robert made his professional debut with Tigres in the 2013-14 season at the age of 15 as the future MLB star developed into a five-tool player. Robert hit .244 with a home run and 12 RBI as a 16-year-old in 2014-15. Robert hit .305 and .401 in the following two seasons before defecting to the United States in 2016. With the White Sox in 2020, Robert finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting with a strong .233/11/31 triple crown slash line in the pandemic-shortened season.
This offered Ciego de Avila Tigres jersey is a gray button-down, with red sleeves and a large “Ciego de Avila” patch sewn on the chest. A Ciego de Avila logo is sewn on the left sleeve. “ROBERT” is applied to the back shoulders in navy and white lettering above a navy and white “56”. There is very minor wear present near the “5” in “56”. This jersey comes with a LOA from noted baseball game used jersey expert William Henderson.
