Although this appears to be a legit 1989 Nieto road jersey (with name removed), the seller has noted that this "heavily used" jersey may or may not have been used for an Old Timers game. Not only is it the wrong number for Bunning (he wore #14), what's the chances that the Phillies would actually outfit their past greats in well worn road jerseys without names on back for an Old Timers game?

The seller was notified of this, and it was suggested that it be revised as "Tom Nieto's 1989 road jersey autographed by Jim Bunning"
