XXL in yellow only. Made and Printed in the USA. Seattle Slew Most sports fans know something about the horse Seattle Slew - they know that you won the Triple Crown in 1977 and they probably know that he remains the only undefeated Triple Crown winner in history. They may even know of his legendary success as a stud horse, siring such great progeny as A.P. Indy, Slew O' Gold and Swale, who won the Derby and the Belmont in 1982. But fewer people know the full tale of how this legendary horse-racing diamond was ferreted out of the rough. Never expected to be a dominant racehorse, Seattle Slew was purchased in 1975 by young couple Sally and Jim Hill and two friends - for the price of $17,500. It was an investment they would recoup many, many times over. In the hang tag picture, Jim Hill holds the reins while his son, Jamie, feeds the horse. Jim is wearing the original version of this t-shirt, which was the official shirt of the Slew Crew, the family and friends of the Hills who gathered to root their unlikely champion on to victory.
