Great 1920's complete uniform made even more interesting due to the fact that it was worn by Ray Klink, batboy for the 1919 Cincinnati Reds. On the field during the infamous 1919 World Series, he can be found in any number of Reds team photos from 1919, years before he began his career at Ohio State University. His jersey has "OHIO" running down center of shirt in red felt and Spalding tagging and [size] "42" flag tag in the collar. Small number "14" is sewn on the back of which the "4" is partially detached. The matching pants, with reinforced knees, are also Spalding and have their tag in the waist. On the burgundy cap is sewn a white felt "O" on front, inside is a well worn leather headband. Lastly, is the original brown leather belt and red and white leggings. Overall EX condition with fine use. Also included are three photos of Klink wearing this uniform and a game used ball marked "Ohio-9, Minnesota-3 May 19, 1928."
