1994 Charlotte Knights Game Worn Jersey - Mgr Brian Graham Cleveland Indians AAA

Description

For your consideration is a beautiful jersey worn by Charlotte Knights Manager Brian Graham during the 1994 season. The Knights were the Cleveland Indians' AAA farm club for just two seasons, in 1993 and 1994. I believe this jersey style was used for just one year, and this is the same jersey Graham wore on his 1994 Procards minor league card.
Manufactured by Wilson, their faded manufacturer's tag can be found in the neckline. This faded tag displays the most wear found on this indestructible Nylon shirt, which has retained it's deep colors and has no rips, holes or tears. The team name and numbers are sewn on in two-layer tackle twill, while the original "GRAHAM" nameplate is still firmly found across the back. I cannot see evidence of any other nameplates, meaning Graham was most likely the only wearer of this shirt.
Tagged as a size 46, the shirt measures approx. 25 inches across from pit to pit, then tapers slightly to approx. 23 inches across along the stomach. The length is approx. 31 inches from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the front hem.
I am also including a BONUS pair of pants from the Knights, which I received with the jersey. The pinstripe colors are mismatched, as the jersey has aqua blue pinstripes versus green ones on the pants. I guess technically no one would have noticed the slight color difference from afar if these were worn together, but I believe the pants originate prior to 1994, when green was one of the team's primary colors. The uniform numbers 18 and 32 have been written inside the waistband. Also manufactured by Wilson, they are tagged as a size 36.
The Charlotte minor league organization has hosted many legendary players over the years, including Orioles legends Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray. During their two-year stretch as Cleveland's AAA club, the Knights roster included Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Sandy Alomar and Omar Vizquel.
This jersey and pants would be an incredible addition to any baseball collection.
