I just acquired this pair of 1940s Cardinals home and away flannel jerseys, both number "10". When I first got these gems, I thought they could be from the St. Louis team. After doing some research and reading old posts from Jeff Scott (Birdbats), I learned that they had to be from a Cardinals' minor league team (button-front, not zip front, no chain-stitched name or year). Disappointed, but still glad to find them. Made by Rawlings, exactly like the Major League variety.
How could I go about finding what farm team used these? Is there a resource with 1940s minor league rosters?
My guess is that these shirts are from 1948. Can anyone help pinpoint the year? Thanks in advance!
