THE JACKIE ROBINSON FOUNDATION COLLECTION OF NEW YORK YANKEES GAME WORN “JACKIE ROBINSON DAY” #42 JERSEYS
SCP Auctions is proud to present a collection of 41 game-worn “Jackie Robinson Day” Major League Baseball jerseys from the New York Yankees. The No. 42 jerseys represent the MLB seasons from 2009 to 2014 and include a total of 35 past and present Yankees players who competed on Jackie Robinson Day (April 15) during any of those six different years. Jackie Robinson Day is a traditional event which occurs every year in MLB ballparks across North America to commemorate and honor the day Robinson made his major league debut: April 15 1947. Initiated for the first time on April 15 2004 Jackie Robinson Day is a celebration of Robinson's debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers (now the Los Angeles Dodgers) that ended almost 80 years of baseball segregation. In acknowledging Robinson’s historic and heroic role in breaking baseball’s color barrier all players coaches and managers on both teams as well as the on-the-field umpires wear No. 42 jerseys on April 15th. Robinson’s number was retired in 1997 by Major League Baseball on the 50th anniversary of his extraordinary feat.
All 41 jerseys were consigned to SCP Auctions by the Jackie Robinson Foundation (JRF) a national not-for-profit organization founded in 1973 by Rachel Robinson (Jackie’s widow) as a vehicle to perpetuate the memory of Jackie Robinson through the advancement of higher education among underserved populations. A portion of the proceeds from the online auction will go toward benefitting the Jackie Robinson Foundation. For more information about the JRF visit www.jackierobinson.org.
This important jersey was worn by Brian McCann the seven-time All-Star who was acquired by the Yankees in 2013 after eight standout seasons with the Atlanta Braves that established him as one of the top-hitting catchers in the game. The jersey was worn on Jackie Robinson Day a nod by Major League Baseball to the great Robinson who broke baseball’s infamous color barrier on April 15 1947. Thus the jersey bears No. 42 as all major league players would wear Jackie’s legendary number in honor of the historic event. The Yankees pinstripe home jersey has Majestic Authentic tagging on the front left tail with two flag tags attached indicating “2014” and Size 48. A second Majestic Authentic strip tag is affixed to the back of the collar. A New York Yankees bar code is affixed below that as part of the team’s authentication program and an MLB hologram is attached to the bar code as part of the dual authentication of the piece. The famed Yankees’ “NY” logo script is on the front left breast in navy blue tackle twill and as noted earlier No. 42 is on the back in the same fashion. The iconic MLB batter logo patch appears at the back of the collar. Shirt is in superb overall condition problem-free and without visible alteration of any description.
Comes with authentication by Major League Baseball (hologram #102913 HZ) and a Letter of Authenticity from the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
