Jerry May’s strong defensive skills made him the Pirates’ catcher for seven years until, after crashing into the dugout in Montreal and on his way to the hospital, another vehicle hit his ambulance causing him a severe shoulder injury. “Pirates” is stitched on the front, the player number “12” is stitched on the front and back, both done in black on yellow felt. Black and yellow piping is present on the collar and arm holes. “May,” “44” and “69” are embroidered in black on the front left tail, indicating the player name, size and year, respectively. Below this is the blue “Spalding” manufacturer’s tag, adjacent to which is a white tag with the size “44” in red. Below this is the wash instructions tag, adjacent to which is a small white flag tag that reads “Set 1, 1969.” Jersey appears to be all-original with no alterations and shows nice use.
