I just picked this flannel Dodger jersey up recently at a yard/estate sale. The individuals I bought it from was selling his fathers items because he just recently passed. After doing research I found out that this may be a jersey used by someone during the Dodgers Minor League Spring Training in 1960 and that the letter on the front identifies which level of the minor leagues a player was at. I believe the jersey looks used because belt waist down on the jersey is very clean and the upper half has seen some use.(don't know if you can tell because of lighting) I have no idea if it is rare, game used or worn by a important player during that time. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I have attached some photos of the jersey.

Thanks

In 1960, the Dodgers used letters on the front to designate what minor league club, a player would likely be assigned to.
