Re: jersey help

Looks like one worn during the Cracker Jack and Equitable Old-Timers games in the 1980s, pitting NL old-timers vs. AL former stars. This would be one of the earlier ones, based on the quality of the jersey (normal for Wilson). Some of the later games featured uniforms with heat-pressed numbers and logos and look chintzy in comparison.
