Vintage MLB Jerseys - Guide to Top Vintage MLB Jerseys

The Major League Baseball uniform has informed not just the culture of the game but also the fervor of its fandom. The New York Yankees, by far MLB's most winning team, have retired over a dozen numbers.  Number 1, of course, was Billy Martin's number.  Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, who dominated the Yankees lineup during the 1926 and 27 seasons, are retired as number 3 and number 4 respectively.  Joe Dimaggio, former beau of Marilyn Monroe and Yankees superstar during the 1950s, boasted the number 5.

Other vintage New York Yankees Major League Baseball jerseys include Mickey Mantle (number 7), Don Mattingly (number 23), and Roger Maris (number 9).  You can find flannel jackets, uniforms, and jerseys from the dawn of the game, as well.  Fans can try to locate vintage Chicago Cubs jerseys from the last time that team won the World Series back at the beginning of the 20th century.

If you are California baseball fan, you might want to acquire Nolan Ryan's number 30 jersey.  Ryan threw fire from the mound, regularly topping out at over 100 miles per hour.  Of course, while the Angels do have a legitimate claim to this pitcher, the Astros do as well.  Indeed, he is retired as number 34 for the Astros--Ryan is one of only a few players to have their numbers simultaneously retired by two teams.

Other great vintage MLB jerseys include Ozzie Smith (number 1 for the Cardinals--superstar defensive shortstop and base stealer), Tommy Lasorda (number 2 for the Dodgers--later a manager and a raconteur), and Jackie Robinson, who's number 42 for the Dodgers has been simultaneously retired by Major League Baseball.
