1980's USA Baseball........help, please?
Hello, all......
My name is Tim Metcalf, and I am the Asst. Athletics Compliance Director for Georgia Southern University. Our previous head baseball coach, Jack Stallings, served as coach on several "USA Baseball" teams during the 1980's, including the 1983 Pan Am Games, in Venezuela, the 1984 Baseball World Tournament in Havana, Cuba, and the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Coach Stallings kept several of the uniforms from those competitions to use for GSU baseball, and while a lot of those uniforms have been discarded, an assistant coach and I found what was "left" in the attic of the baseball equipment room a couple of months ago. While I know the origins of a couple of these jerseys.....the blue # 36 is Drew Hall, an alternate in LA/'84, and the red # 10 is Gary Green, who particiapted in LA/'84....there are several sets that I don't know much about. Can these be LA/'84 warm-ups? BP jerseys? Are the ones that are different styles, but still Rawlings, be from from 1983/Venezuela? 84/Havana? Are the Mizunos from a different competition I don't know about?
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated; Coach Stallings was as much help as he could be, but he has travelled a LOT of miles in the last 50 years......!?
I will attach photos ASAP....
Thanks!
Tim
