Hi Brethren - On Ebay there is a listing for a game used Sacramento Solons jersey from the "1970's." The jersey looks like a questionable beer league softball shirt and it doesn't match any cards/photos I've ever seen of the Solons from 1974-76 when they played in the PCL (note: in my research I did find a picture of the Solons wearing yellow SHORTS in a game!). Any thoughts/input appreciated.
I have emailed the seller but no response. Here's the link:

I've never seen a Wilson flag-tag in the collar from the 1970s.

The team colors are right, but the eBay jersey looks like it is from the 80s.

Short pants and long sleeves? Great for sliding into second on your elbows.

Yeah ... and in the '40s they made the women play in skirts! Makes for some serious strawberries!

But some people just plain DESERVE strawberries ...
