Pittsburgh Pirates road jersey worn by outfielder Bob Skinner during the club's 1960 World Championship season. The gray flannel vest-style jersey is lettered "Pirates" across the chest and features the number "4" on the reverse. All letters and numerals are applied in black on gold felt. A "MacGregor size 44" appears in the collar. Located on the interior right front tail is a flag tag reading "Set 1 1960." The jersey is all original and displays moderate wear, including a few tiny holes on the reverse, light scattered staining throughout, and light fraying to the fabric along the armhole piping. Skinner was a key contributor to the Pirates' success in 1960, batting .273, with 15 home runs and a career-high 86 RBI. In the World Series, he had a hit in Game 1, but was injured when he jammed his thumb sliding. He missed the next five games, but returned for the historic Game 7 in which Bill Mazeroski won it for the Pirates with his dramatic ninth-inning walk-off home run. Skinner retired in 1966 with 103 home runs, 531 RBI, and a .277 lifetime average.
