Willie Wilson played for 19 years in the show hitting triples for the Kansas City Royals(1976-90), Oakland A's (1991-92), and Chicago Cubs (1993-94). During that time he amassed 2,207 Hits, 41 Homers, 668 Stolen bases, and 585 RBI's. Wilson recieved 2 All-Star nominations (1982,83), 2 Silver Slugger Awards (1980,82), 1 Gold Glove (1980), and an A.L. Batting Championship (1982). Wilson also played on 2 Kansas City World Series teams (1980,85) Winning it all in the 1985 season. This jersey dates to the 1979 season a year that saw Wilson steal a career high 83 bases while batting over .300 in 154 games. The jersey shows moderate use and has the appropriate Wilson manufacturing tag as well as a 79 box tag to indicate the year used. At some time the jersey was recycled and the original NOB was removed and later restored with a slightly different font than the original. Other than the NOB restoration the jersey is completely original. Wilson has added his signature to the back number 6 in blue ink. Nice baby blue road jersey from the Royals primer center fielder of the 1980's!!! LOA from jersey expert Dave Miedema accompanies this lot
