Complete 1973 Atlanta Braves home uniform including jersey, pants, and stirrup socks, attributed to then Braves pitcher Joe Niekro. The Wilson pullover style jersey bears the number 36, a size 44 jersey tagged for 1973. Then in his eighth season, and first with Atlanta, the 28-year-old pitcher had not quite hit his stride, as he went just 2-4 with a 4.13 ERA in only 20 games, all in relief.  It was not until 1976 in Houston, when he became a starting pitcher, that he became the workhorse he would be in his 30s, winning 21 games in 1979 and 20 more in 1980. Originating from the estate of Clyde King, who was assistant General Manager for the Braves in 1973. Full LOA from MEARS, with a grade of A10.
