The jersey in the current Vintage Authentics auction listed as a Michael Young Texas Rangers batting practice jersey from 2004 has the number 9. Unless I am mistaken, or there is something about batting practice jerseys I don't know, Young's number is 10 and the 9 belongs to Hank Blalock.

Re: vintage authentics Young jersey
cjclong, didnt you read Lou Lampsons LOA?
It said Michael and Hank according to Lampson were buddies and they used to go drinking and one night they got so drunk, that when they woke up in the morning they were wearing each others Jerseys and ever since then for supersticious reasons they have been wearing the wrong numbers LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Im sorry guys I couldnt resist on this one!!! -

Tim-
I understand your concern, however, you may want to do a little homework on this. Meigray did not get the Rangers pre-games/warm-ups from 2004/2005, and thus, I doubt you'll see any of these with their LOA. The Rangers pre-games in the Vintage auction look to be genuine in every aspect (tagging, wear, sizing), and the lack of LOA should not be an issue. Rangers game jerseys should indeed have the Meigray LOA.

Re: vintage authentics Young jersey
Originally posted by stkmtimoHoward, thanks for filling me in. I had taken a brief hiatus from the game used collecting hobby at that point so I didn't notice it. I know they had pre-games and BP jerseys from 2000 as I have one in my collection but they must not be receiving them from the Rangers anymore. Do you know the story behind why the Rangers didn't sell them to MeiGray along with the rest of their inventory?

Generally, as a buyer for resale purposes, money is lost on warm-ups, pre-game and batting practice items. This would make a great explanation of why they may not have bought them.Comment
