Presented is a cool piece from the 1980 Cy Young Award winner and popular Windy City broadcaster Steve Stone, a game-worn garment from the tail end of his career and his first year in Baltimore. The road grey knit jersey has the seven-button front with stretch-ribbed orange and black, with black/white/orange sleeve accents. It has two-color orange-on-black tackle twill for the No. 32, team name and NOB. The original NOB plate is intact, with vertical arch affixed in a tight zigzag and plated in the small font, which is highly desirable for collectors. The shirt has Wilson Size 42 labeling at the inside front-left tail, with adjacent team swatch “79 3” flap tag original and intact in black chain link on grey knit swatch. The shirt solid wear throughout. Stone ended his 11-year playing career with an 107-93 log and 3.97 ERA for four teams, tucking away that historic Cy Young Award in the process, then turned himself into a highly respected broadcaster in the Windy City, first for the Cubs and ultimately with the White Sox.
