1972 Jim McAndrew Game-Used Complete Mets Away Uniform

Former New York Mets pitcher Jim McAndrew spent six seasons with The Amazins where he compiled a 36-49 record with an ERA of 3.54. McAndrew was part of the 1969 World Series championship team and 1973 National League pennant winning team for the Mets. This New York Mets road Rawlings size 43 button-down pinstripe jersey was worn by McAndrew during the 1972-1973 season, his final year with New York. This jersey features “Mets” sewn across front in blue and orange tackle twill with McAndrew’s number “43” sewn on center left chest. The back of the jersey has “43” sewn in blue and orange tackle twill. A white 1 x 2 ½ inch team strip tag is sewn on the inside back color with blue embroidered “43 44 72” indicating the size, year and player. The left sleeve has the Mets Skyline logo patch sewn on and the red Rawlings size tag is sewn on the bottom front right tail. McAndrew signed his name in blue marker below the “M” on the front of the jersey. This jersey shows moderate to heavy game use with some staining and sweat marks and the numbers being restored. Most impressively, the jersey comes with the baseball cap and pants. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
