Description: Scarce Joe Pignatano "Brooklyn vs. World" tour jersey c.1948. Home style white flannel shirt with "Brooklyn" team name on front and original #22 on the back. Rawlings tag remains inside the collar along with size/dry clean tags. The shirt exhibits light general usage remaining in fine original condition. Very high quality, professional style shirt was worn by Pignatano as a member of the Brooklyn traveling team which played numerous teams at various stadiums in 1948. The series itself was sponsored by the Brooklyn Dodgers beginning in 1945 and continuing into the 1950s with games usually played at Ebbets Field. These amateur baseball contests produced several Major League players incl. Billy Loes, Don McMann, and Joe Pignatano. The offered shirt is one of the precious few of these Brooklyn Tour jerseys known to exist and is one of the last shirts of its type to display the word "Brooklyn" as the Dodgers had discontinued the city name usage after 1945. Includes letter or provenance from Joe Pignatano and LOA from Hunt Auctions, Inc: EX
