What a classic 1970 Vida Blue Oakland A's home flannel jersey game-worn by the perhaps the franchise's most popular left handed pitcher! After getting roughed up in his first Big League action over 42 innings in 1969 Blue was called up late in 1970 and showed he was more than ready to be a dominant starter for years to come. In just 6 starts he went 2-0 including a one-hitter and a no-hitter in a 10-day 3-start span. In 1971 he put together a spectacular 24-8 Cy Young Award winning season. Based on the fact that most players during this era only received one or two sets of home and away jerseys it is very likely that this home gamer is in fact the same one he wore for the no-hitter he pitched in a home game vs. Minnesota on September 21 1970. The white tank-top flannel beauty features Kelly green "35" and "A's" trimmed in gold sewn on front with block letter "BLUE" and large "35" in the same Kelly green and gold sewn on back. McAuliffe Size 42 and "70" tags sewn in front tail. Jersey exhibits moderate use with some toning at the lower front some light stains on the back along with a small team repair below the numbers on back. Comes as-issued in excellent game-used condition. Rare chance to own a piece of Oakland A's history.
