1980s South Side Slugger: Ron Kittle Autographed Chicago White Sox White Retro Throwback Custom Jersey w/ "83 AL ROY" Inscription
Celebrate the nostalgic "Winning Ugly" era of Chicago baseball with a striking throwback collectible: a custom white 1980s-style retro baseball jersey (approx. Size XL), hand-signed across the back number by fan-favorite power hitter, Ron Kittle.
Kittle took the Major Leagues by storm in 1983, smashing 35 home runs and driving in 100 runs to capture the American League Rookie of the Year Award while leading the White Sox to an AL West division crown. Styled after the iconic 1980s white, red, and navy block-striped uniform design, this custom throwback jersey features stitched nameplate lettering and sewn-on numbers. Kittle signed his name in bold marker alongside the hand-written inscription "83 AL ROY", making it an awesome display piece for any Chicago White Sox fan cave or sports memorabilia display.
