Cincinnati Reds home jersey worn by relief ace Clay Carroll in 1971. The white flannel jersey features the Reds team logo on the left breast. The number "36" appears on both the right breast and reverse. All letters and numerals are applied in red tackle twill. The original "Carroll" nameplate has been replaced but the current nameplate does show wear. Rest of the jersey is original. Located on the interior right front tail are a "Rawlings 44" label, a wash tag, and a flag tag reading "Set 1/#8P/1971." Both the jersey size ("44") and year ("71") are chain-stitched in red on the left front tail. The jersey moderate wear, including some light fraying to the stitching on the name. Clay Carroll enjoyed a successful fifteen-year Major League career, but he is best remembered today for being the mainstay of manager Sparky Anderson's vaunted Cincinnati Reds bullpen during the early to mid 1970s. During his tenure with the Reds (1968-1975) Carroll saved 119 games (a franchise record at that time), including a league and career high 37 in 1972. In 1975, his final season with the Reds, he was the winning pitcher in Game 7 of the World Series, which gave Cincinnati its first World Championship in 35 years. In 1980 Carroll was elected into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.
