Anyone ever seen a Rawlings tag in the tail like this?

[tknorm]

I have never seen a tag in this spot before, but my experience is pretty limited. Has anyone ever seen a baseball jersey tagged this way? It is supposed to be a 1992 jersey, tagged as set 1 1992.

Thoughts?

I have seen Dodger tagging like that in both Rawlings and Russell made jerseys. I would not be concerned over the placement.

This is done so the outline of the red tag, does not show through under the pants, when tucked in.

Almost forgot...could that be a minor league jersey? In '92, did road greys have "Dodgers" on front?

Here's a 1992 Rawlings-tagged Dodgers road grey from the Vero Beach Dodgers in 2002 (has the Holman Stadium 50th Anniversary patch from the 2002 season). Same tagging placement as the original post. To the best of my knowledge, I don't see an outline of the Dodger Stadium Anniversary patch the big club wore in 1992 on my jersey. Maybe an extra jersey the club sent down to the minors?

I think the Dodgers last placed their Russell tags in the tail in 1996, but I've seen 1997 Dodgers jerseys with the Jackie Robinson patch on a 1996-tagged jersey (Raul Mondesi and Chad Fonville, to name a couple). In 1997, the tags moved inside the left front tail.

The Mets also butt-tagged their 1998 AIS jerseys.

Any Dodger collectors out there, did Hershiser wear size 40?

Kind Regards,

Good catch. I didn't notice the size 40. I have seen mostly sizes 44-46 in his Dodger years, and 46-48 later in his career. Glad to learn that the tail tag is not necessarily a warning sign.

Thx for the advice.

Ron,

Is that a road 1998 Benny Agbayani rookie jersey?
