"Road Runner" was his nickname, and Ralph Garr was a speedster outfielder and a fine hitter during his Major League career, 1968-80. Offered is a 1977 Ralph Garr Chicago White "Softball Style" game worn, away, blue jersey from Garr's first full season with the Sox. Garr played with the Atlanta Braves (1968-76), Chicago White Sox (1976-79), and California Angels (1979-80). He batted a career .306, with 75 home runs and 172 stolen bases. He obtained his Road Runner nickname from his base stealing and overall baserunning while in Atlanta, and the Braves would even play excerpts from Looney Tunes' cartoons showing Road Runner when Garr got on base. In '74, Garr won the NL batting crown, batting .353. In '77, when Garr wore the offered jersey, he batted .300. Bill Veeck, the Hall of Fame baseball executive owned the White Sox during Garr's stint with the team, and Veeck, as the owner of the St. Louis Browns, had masterminded using Eddie Gaedel, at 3'7" still baseball's only "little person" as an actual player in a real game. So, Veeck introduced the concept of the baseball jersey in softball style. Veeck also had the White Sox wear softball-style short pants for a time. The attractive jersey has Rawlings size 42 and Set 1 1977 tagging in the neck. Vintage style CHICAGO in white, sewn-on lettering is across the chest. On back is GARR in vintage sewn-on white lettering, and on the back is 48 in white sewn-on vintage numerals. Using a black marker, Garr has signed and inscribed the numeral 4 in his number by writing "Ralph Garr Batting Champ NL 1974 353." Also, affixed on the numeral 4 is a Beckett Authenticated sticker (#BF41501). The jersey has a few loose threads, and a few very minor stains as some of the indications of nice wear. Overall, the jersey remains as one of Bill Veeck's experiments worn by one of baseball's popular and exciting players. Overall, the jersey shows great style.
