Julian Javier was a mainstay in the St. Louis Cardinals infield during their successful decade of the 1960's, highlighted by World Series crowns in 1964 and 1967. Javier was also a National League All-Star in 1963 and 1968, plus made additional World Series appearances for the Cardinals in 1968 and Cincinnati Reds in 1972 (how many of you knew that?).
Presented here is a vintage jersey from the 1965 season, gifted to a young fan at spring training in Florida at the time, and had been kept in the family until now.
Here is an excerpt from a note from the consignor:
My late wife, Kathy, obtained the [Javier] jersey. She grew up in Florida in the 1960's and her best friend's dad was a coach for the Cardinals at the time. I'm sorry but I can't remember his name. Kathy visited the Cardinals Spring Training with her friend. Her friend's dad was the one who arranged for her to get the jersey. Kathy was a HUGE sports fan and treasured the jersey. It is only now, 30 years after her death, that I can let it go.
