1970-71 Dave Baldwin Milwaukee Brewers Game Worn Home Jersey (MEARS A10) Inaugural Season

Offered is a Milwaukee Brewers home jersey originally issued to Dave Baldwin during the team's inaugural 1970 season. Wilson size 42 tag sewn to tail with "70 Baldwin" embroidered in green thread while "Brewers" and number 46 are sewn to the white flannel jersey in blue on yellow double tackle twill. Given the hasty relocation of the Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee shortly before the start of the 1970 season the Brewers initially wore repurposed Seattle Pilots jerseys until they received their initial shipment from Wilson, which this jersey would have been a part of. Number 46 is sewn to the front of the jersey indicating that is was carried over for use in during the 1971 season, though Baldwin did not make the team out of spring training. MEARS A10 with no deduction for light to moderate wear as it is consistent with Baldwin only appearing in 17 home games & throwing 24 innings at Milwaukee County Stadium for the first year Brewers club.
