Holy balls, that's absolutely incredible. It's so amazing to see the ballclub initials on the sleeve in real life, too.

Bravo!!

Great pick up, congrats!

Was the peppermint candy cane undershirt available for purchase as well?

Miller's stuff got split up among many family members, so that undershirt could be out there somewhere.

I read an article that said when he got home to Kearny, he said hi to his family, then went out and played baseball with neighborhood kids in the field right behind the house and he used a baseball from the World Series. D'oh!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! BTW, this is his house from back then, where the jersey was until around 2009.

Congrats John. I couldn't be happier for you. It is where it should be.

ps..can't help but be just a little disappointed in his glove size. The ladies said he had big hands, guess they were wrong DOH....
