Knuckleballer Phil Niekro was one of the winningest pitchers in major league history, and early in his Hall of Fame career with Atlanta, he wore this home, white flannel jersey with blue pinstripes. "Braves" in blue tackle twill is sewn across the front while "35" (restored) is on the back. The swatch in the collar is chain-stitched with "Niekro 1968 Set 3" and there's a Braves logo patch on the left sleeve, with Wilson size 42 tag on the front tail. The jersey is signed in 7/10 blue Sharpie on the front and shows light use. All-original but for the number on the back, which was professionally restored after the original was removed. Niekro ranks 16th on baseball's all-time list with 318 wins, the majority of which came with the Braves.
