Detroit Tigers home jersey worn by outfielder Chet Lemon in 1988. The white knit jersey features the Tigers' "D" logo on the left breast and the number "34" on the reverse. The name "Lemon" is lettered on the reverse directly above the number. All letters and numerals are applied in navy tackle twill. A "Wilson" label and adjacent "40" size tag appear on the left front tail. Located below the Wilson label are two white strip tags. One bears both the year and set number ("88 1") stitched in black, while the other bears the number "8" (meaning unknown) stitched in black. Lemon has inscribed the jersey in black marker (grading 7/10) on the reverse: "Chet Lemon #34 Tigers." The jersey is original as issued and displays light-to-moderate wear, including a few light, scattered stains. Lemon batted .264 with 17 home runs and 64 RBI in 1988. A key member of the Tigers 1984 World Championship club, Lemon finished his sixteen-year career with 215 home runs, 884 RBI, and a .273 lifetime average.
