HOF Class of 1962, McKechnie was the first skipper to win pennants with three different National League clubs – the Pittsburgh Pirates (1925), St. Louis Cardinals (1928) and Cincinnati Reds (1939-40). Known as “Deacon” for his unassuming demeanor and regular participation in the church choir, McKechnie molded his clubs into close-knit teams that excelled in tight contests. According to All-Star pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, McKechnie “knew how to hold on to a one- or two-run lead better than any other manager.” Inside the back of the neck of this cream flannel, is the Wilson label, with size 42 tag attached. Handwritten in black marker beside the Wilson label, is ‘R.L.B.’ Team name (Indians) is done across the chest, and coach number (41) on the back - both done in red on navy felt. Indians logo patch on the left sleeve. Minor repair to the back-left shoulder. MEARS tag inside the right sleeve. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as coach-worn and in our opinion shows appropriate wear.
