Description: Superb 1958 Sandy Koufax Los Angeles Dodgers home jersey. Cream flannel shirt retains original "Dodgers" blue lettering across chest alongside the legendary #32 in red. Original blue #32 remains on back, taggings on shirt tail include Rawlings w/size tag of 44 next to "Koufax 58" chain stitched in blue. Inside of shirt tail has dry cleaning tag and Set 1 1958 tag. The jersey shows appropriate usage wear with a few tiny holes and some tiny moth "spotting" on back including numbers. Under the left arm is a 1 1/2"x2" hole apparently from a tear that was never repaired. Extroardinary all original condition including buttons and color to nembers and lettering with proper slight age fading. The jersey was originally obtained by the Dodgers head of field maintenance who then gave it to his son. The jersey was later given as a birthday gift to the current consignor who has had it in his posession since 1984. The current consignor had Mr. Kufax sign the jersey across the front at a card show in 1987 and includes a photo of Sandy holding the shirt with the consignor. Undiscovered uniforms of this quality are simply becoming non-existent with this particular shirt ranking as one of the finest we've had the pleasure to offer. Koufax was beginning to come into his own in 1958 with his highest win total thus far in his career at eleven en route to a run of seasons in the 1960's unequaled by any pitcher to date. Includes letter of provenance from consignor and LOA from David Bushing: EX
