You are bidding on early 1980's Cleveland Indians' jersey and pants. Jersey: worn by Coach Eddie Napoleon. Pants: worn by unknown.Jersey: Vintage Rawlings 1981 (Set #1) Cleveland Indians' jersey (size 40) worn by Coach Eddie Napoleon. This jersey is in good condition, the shoulder/collar/sleeve/side seams, sleeves, collar and Chief Wahoo patch are all excellent. The number "1" on the back is missing the white inner portion, and the name on the back has been removed leaving some residual signs of the letters. I purchased this directly from the Indians' team store in 1985 or 1986, all of the other jerseys they were selling were torn up and/or patched. This was the best of the lot. These shirts have great style and are getting hard to find. Please see all pictures as this is sold as-pictured and as-is.
Pants: Vintage Wilson Cleveland Indians' baseball pants (size 34) worn by unknown. These pants are in OK condition, the waste band and piping (down the side of the legs) are very good. There was a tear in the pants on the left rear (apparently from sliding) that was repaired (by the team?) before it was sold; there are some small tears in the right knee (also apparently from sliding) that was not repaired. I also purchased this directly from the Indians' team store at the same time as the jersey in 1985 or 1986, very few pants were available; this was the best of the lot. These pants have great style and are getting hard to find. Please see all pictures as this is sold as-pictured and as-is.
I am starting this auction for both the jersey and pants at the low opening bid of 9. I have been told this jersey alone should sell for 0-,200, or higher, as minor restoration would be needed and these shirts rarely come up for auction.
Eddie Napoleon was a professional baseball player, manager and coach whose career lasted for over 45 years. He was a MLB coach for five teams over 15 seasons, including the Cleveland Indians from 1983-85.
Among the pictures, I inserted a collage of two pictures of Napoleon from his time with the Indians. This is just to show Eddie wearing what appears to be this shirt and pants similar to these, the picture is not included in this sale.
