    Random GU Thoughts- 9-25

    Here's a couple of items

    The Yankees rookies dressed like characters from The Wizard of Oz for their annual rookie hazing on Monday. From l. to r., Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy, Shelley Duncan and Phil Hughes.



    I can see the description in a future auction house catalog.

    The Lion one-piece shows good acceptable mane wear

    Dorothy shows slight pilling on dress straps possibly caused by pigtails.

    The finest known example of a Shelly Duncan Scarecrow costume- with apropos consistent identifier wear and no alterations of any kind.

    Tin man costume shows classic fraying on left breast, likely caused by repeated contact with heart-shaped clock. Clock is made to Philip Hughes' preferred specficiations with 12 hours and two hands depicted, matching known exemplars.

    Also, if you love throwbacks, Japanese Baseball throwbacks are now available at Yakyu Shop.

    Some really nice designs, and some that were clearly inspired by some of the uglier american uniforms of the time.

    Think of all the 'event worn' swatches that UDA will have for baseball cards.
