Presented is a terrific game-worn, minor-league jersey with likely attribution to one of the heroes of the historic 1986 World Championship season of the New York Mets, an attractive light royal-blue cheesecloth pullover bearing Mookie Wilson’s No. 2 from his 1979-80 stint with Tidewater. The shirt has the finely ribbed knit orange/white/blue collar trim and sleeve end accents. Sand Knit labeling is at the front outer tail along with glued-on Sand Knit label Medium with washing instructions. Wilson, a standout in New York for 10 seasons, was with the-Mets affiliate Tidewater in 1979-80, and was the International League Rookie of the Year in 1979. The shirt shows surface wear on the front, including a minor tear to the material on the “Tides” on the front.
