On July 6 1990 Whitey Herzog put an end to his career in baseball that saw him in just about every position baseball had to offer. He was a player scout general manager coach and farm system director but what earned him his enshrinement into the Hall of Fame were his managerial skills. Herzog enjoyed his most successful run as a manager with the Cardinals winning three National League pennants including a World Series title in 1982. In addition to serving as the manager of the 1982 champs he was also the general manager for the 1981 and 82 seasons. His retirement from the Cardinals ended an 18-year big league managerial career that produced 1281 regular-season wins.
Here is Herzogs gray road knit jersey worn at the helm of the Cardinals 1985 NL Championship squad. The pullover garment features the "Cardinals" red-on-navy chenille stitched script under a bat with two Cardinals perched on the ends. Whitey's number "24" has been sewn on the left front and back in red-on-navy tackle twill. The collar and sleeve openings bear red-white-navy stripe accents. A Rawlings label (size 46) with laundry instructions appears inside the left front tail. The NOB appears in red-on-navy tackle twill. Moderate wear is evident throughout and the jersey remains completely original and unaltered. Herzog has signed the front in black marker with his added notation Gamer 1985 N.L. Champs.
