Description: Rare 1978 Pete Rose Cincinnati Reds St. Patrick's Day professional model jersey. Home white knit jersey with unique green trim was fashioned by the team to celebrate St. Patrick's Day during a 1978 pre-season game. Retains its original "14" and Reds logo patch on the front with "Rose" and 14 on the reverse. Special commemorative clover patch is affixed to the left sleeve. Rawlings mfg. tag with "Set 1 1978" flag tag is found inside the tail front.
