EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of sports history - a jersey worn and autographed by the legendary African-American baseball player, Hank Aaron. The jersey, belonging to the Atlanta Braves, was donned by Aaron during the 1968 or 1969 MLB season. Its grey color is accentuated with meticulously stitched blue and red type on both the front and back. The front chest area proudly displays the iconic [Braves] logo, while the back features Aaron's renowned number [44]. Adding to its historical value, a patch on the right sleeve commemorates Major League Baseball's 100th anniversary with an MLB logo in striking red type. On the left sleeve, an illustration of a caricatured American Indian face pays homage to Native American culture. Aaron's autograph graces the lower portion of this remarkable jersey's front. Adjacent to his signature are several labels including one from Spalding and another indicating its size as "40". A label inside the neckline further confirms its authenticity with blue ink reading [44 40 68]. As we delve into this artifact from America's sporting past, it serves as a testament not only to Hank Aaron's unparalleled talent but also his enduring legacy as an African-American trailblazer in professional baseball. This cherished item now finds itself preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), representing an important chapter in our nation's cultural heritage.
