Offered is this highly desirable 1997 rookie jersey worn by the soon to be Hall of Famer David Ortiz. Made by Russell Athletic, this dark blue size "50 - 2" Extra Length" jersey features "Minnesota" sewn across the chest in tackle twill along with the "27" below and to the left. The back has "Ortiz" sewn onto the nameplate along with a large "27" in the same style. The Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary patch sewn on the right sleeve dates this handsome jersey and looks outstanding. Showing nice use, there are a few light stains present along with some loose threads but presents incredibly well.
