ive been collecting hockey for a while now, but recently got into baseball and was hoping a yankees expert would be able to answer some questions
anyhoo, i picked up a 1990 yankees road jersey on ebay over the weekend with the martin #1 on the sleeve.
what i know is that it's tagged "garcia 90 2" in the neck, is a #17 and it's size 44.
damaso garcia was signed in the offseason and was cut in early april before the regular season started. he obviously wore the number in the spring and this jersey was prepared for him. however, the only player to wear that # during the regular season was claudell washington, who was traded for in late april.
would the yanks have prepared set 2 jerseys before the team even broke north for the season and before the final roster was even set?
the loa is also kinda vague and from what ive been reading on here, they're not always gospel. it reads "game worn road jersey (tagged garcia)," but seeing as how garcia couldnt have possibly worn a set 2 for the yankees in 1990, im assuming that this could only have been worn by washington.
am i right with this assumption? does anyone know if washington wore a 44?
thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide...and i also look forward to contributing here.
cheers,
philip
