On the left front tail of the jersey is the "Tim McAuliffe" label. Attached below are the size "42" and year “62” tags. It looks like the player felt tag was taken off in the minors. “ESPINAL” has been written in the collar in black marker. Across the front is "DODGERS" in script style letters which are made of blue felt. The player number "1" appears below on the left in red felt. On the back is the player number “1” in blue felt. Autographed on front in black marker and rates a 6. The jersey shows good wear and besides being sent to the minors appears to have no other alterations of any kind. The autograph is accompanied by a LOA from JSA.

According to available published information, Reese did indeed serve as a coach for the Dogers, however, it was for the 1959 season, not 1962.
Per published information, "following his retirement as a player, Reese enjoyed considerable success as a play-by-playannouncer on network television. He called games for CBS from 1960–1965 (with Dizzy Dean) and for NBC from 1966–1968 (with Curt Gowdy). Reese also broadcast several World Series for NBC radio."
Does anyone have any insight on Reese being a coach with the Dodgers in 1962?
