If you were one of the fortunate cities where Tony LaRussa managed, you loved him. Very few had affinity for the future Hall of Fame skipper if you were the opposition.
The mastermind baseball tactician wore this size "46" jersey during the road portion of the 2008 season. Authentication comes via a Cardinals Care LOA which emphatically states "This is to certify that the listed item was acquired through CARDINALS CARE, the team's community foundation and is guaranteed authentic as described: Tony LaRussa Autographed Game Worn Road Jersey." We have determined the vintage because the LOA is dated Jan. 10, 2010 and the team wore jerseys with an All-Star patch in 2009.
The Cardinals unmistakable chenille filled emblem is proudly displayed on front. The identifiers are created in two-color tackle twill and show noticeable puckering. A rubberized Majestic tag and size indicator are found in the tail as is a Cool Base manufacturer's tag. A curled Majestic "0063" inventory code flag tag is found in the inner side gusset. LaRussa signed the reverse in black felt tip.
