Chicago White Sox home jersey worn by third-base coach Jim Busby during the 1976 season. The white mesh jersey is lettered "Chicago" across the front and features the number 32 on the reverse. "Busby" is lettered on the reverse, directly above the number. All letters and numerals are applied in blue tackle twill. A Rawlings 44 label appears in the collar. Although this jersey style was worn by the White Sox between the years 1976 to 1981, it can be pinpointed to the 1976 season because that was the only season in which Busby was a coach with the club. The jersey is original as issued and displays moderate wear, including light staining on the front and back. This jersey originates from longtime collector Louis Kendrick, who obtained it directly from the White Sox following the 1976 season. The mailing label from the shipping envelope to Kendrick, dated "12-11-76," is included with the jersey.
