MLB has a Frank Thomas jersey from 2008 JR Day. Only three players wore 42 that day for Toronto. The available jersey has no NOB. The only photos I can find from the game only show the backs of the other players (who didn't wear 42). They all have NOB. I can't find any photos that clearly show whether Thomas' jersey had a NOB. Is it possible that the 42 jerseys had no NOB, but the others did?

Thanks for any help,
TT

Most likely, the others would have worn their normal, NOB-bearing shirts. Participation in 2008 was voluntary for each team. The 3 Jays who donned 42 were Thomas, Shannon Stewart and Vernon Wells.
