489. 1953 Columbus Red Birds
Game-Worn Road Ensemble
In terms of minor league teams and their status as affiliates
to parent clubs, it began with the Columbus Red
Birds, a club purchased by Cardinals executive Branch

this road ensemble was worn during the 1953 season by
a big league hopeful. The gray flannel jersey and pants
feature red trim, with felt identifiers on the jersey and
proper “Rawlings” tagging on both. Worn likely in
1953 and in subsequent seasons, the items show appropriate

Worn Warm-Up Jacket

features a team logo embroidered to a 7-1/2”-diameter
twill plate on the left breast and a smaller version on
the left sleeve. Within the collar, a “Wilson” size “44”
