This jersey is currently on eBay:
Seller lists it as a 1974 jersey, which I know is incorrect, as Pruitt came up with Texas in 1975 before being traded in the off-season to Cleveland for the 1976 season. I got Ron's autograph during his brief stay at Texas, and the jersey has intrigued me, however, I'm not finding any pictorial info that proves that this was his jersey (all the photos I have and in my bb card collection shows him wearing the Indians red alternate version jersey), and the fact that the "P" on the jersey seems to be a darker/different color than the rest of the name. I've also been comparing it with the information I have in the most excellent MLB Double-Knit Jerseys PDF that I have. According to that, the jersey could indeed be a 1976 or 1977 home jersey.
What do you guys think? All information is most welcome.
Thanks,
Jay
