Right-handed pitcher Roger The Rocket Clemens turned in a Picasso-like performance for the Boston Red Sox during the 1986 MLB season. Not only did he lead the league in wins with a 24-4 record and ERA (2.48) but he struck out 238 batters while leading the Red Sox to their first A.L. pennant since 1975. Although the Red Sox lost to the New York Mets four games to three in a wild Fall Classic Clemens turned in a season for the ages. To no ones surprise he was named the recipient of the A.L. Cy Young award (his first of seven) as well as the MVP of the league!
This lot features Clemens 1986 Boston red Sox autographed and game-worn road jersey from that magical season. The gray button-down jersey shows the proper Wilson manufacturers tag on the left front tail with a flag tag attached to that reading [size] 44 with washing instruction on the back. A separate cloth tag reading 86 in black chain-stitching is positioned underneath the Wilson tag indicating the season. The front of the jersey reads BOSTON arched across the chest in navy blue tackle twill lettering. The Rockets uniform number 21 adorns the back in eight-inch navy blue tackle twill sewn directly onto the jersey. He has signed the left front tail in blue marker and added the inscription Best Wishes1986 with his autograph. A classic piece of Boston Red Sox memorabilia commemorating one of the most dominant individual seasons in pitching history!
