This vintage gray flannel jersey worn by Danny Thompson in 1970 is a plain and simple gem, with "Twins" stitched across the chest and "11" on the verso in navy on red tackle twill. Rare period Twins patch on the left sleeve. "Thompson" is chain-stitched in blue on a sewn-in label in the neck and "Thompson 11 42 70 Set 2" is chain-stitched onto the flannel on the lower left front tail above the "Spadling" and size "42" tags. Shirt has a light use with a few light stains, but is nearly pristine with no repairs or damage. Thompson wore No. 5 during most of his career, but debuted as No. 11 before switching numbers. An authentic Twins flannel and a terrific display piece.
