Herb Pennock

This jersey of baseball Hall Of Famer Herb Pennock was purchased in the late 1980s at a sports collector show in Willow Grove, PA. Pennock was from nearby, Kennett Square, PA. The jersey has Red Sox across the front of the chest. Pennock played and coached with the Red Sox.The COA letter has all the information. Herb’s son in law was Eddie Collins, Jr who wrote the COA. Eddie’s dad, Eddie Collins, Sr is also in the baseball Hall of Fame. This marriage is the only one of two HOF offspring.The COA states that the jersey is from Pennock's days with the Red Sox. I have been unable to locate information as to when the Red Sox wore this style jersey. It’s possible that it’s from when he was coaching in the minors. There is a faint outline of the number 10 on the back of the jersey. There are no rips or tears in the jersey or the pants or stirrups. The entire uniform appears in original and unaltered condition.The letter is addressed to a retired collector in New Jersey. I talked with him. He was advertising in different newspapers around the country for memorabilia in the 1980's. After talking with Ed, he received a box containing a lot of the items of Pennocks they still had. They wanted someone who appreciated them. They accomplished that. I have enjoyed owning this jersey for over 30 years.The flannel jersey comes with the pants and stirrups and the COA letter.This jersey was possibly worn by Pennock while he was working in the Red Sox minor league system as a coach after his playing career. The COA only states that it was during his time with the Red Sox.Pennock started his career when Connie Mack signed him with the A’s in 1912. He was with Boston from 1915 -1922 when he was traded to the New York Yankees. He was a member of the 1927 Yankees, who many consider the best team ever assembled. He was back with the Red Sox in 1934 when he retired.Pennock was a 6 time World Series champion, won 261 games in his career and was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1948.Pennock worked as a coach, general manager and scout in the Red Sox organization and later the A’s after his playing career.He died in 1948 in the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City from a cerebral hemorrhage.This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of baseball history from one of the true pioneers of the game.
