Early 1980's Cleveland Indians jersey game worn and signed by Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller during an Old Timers Game. Feller has signed the jersey twice, once on the front and again on the back tail, in strong 8-9/10 blue and black felt tip pen. Inside the pants on the stretch waist band he has signed on 7/10 black felt tip pen. The jersey originally belonged to Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Len Barker. On the back Feller's name and number 19 have been stitched over the outlined remnants of Barker's name and number 39. The "Set 1 1982" flag tag behind the collar indicates that Barker wore it during the 1982 season. Just a year earlier, on May 15, 1981, the hard-throwing right handed pitcher hurled what was then the 9th perfect game in Major League history when he blanked the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0. Rawlings size 46 tag sewn in collar. "INDIANS" sewn across front of chest. Chief Wahoo patch sewn on left sleeve. Rawlings size 40 and "INSEAM 25" tags sewn inside waistband of pants. "19" in black marker present also. Jersey, pants, and stirrups all display light wear.
