Let's see the memorial patches

[Rob L]

After picking up the 2009 Angels jersey yesterday, I thought it would be interesting to see the various memorial patches used over the years. I have a 2007 Cardinals jersey with the Josh Hancock patch and of course the 2009 Angels jersey with the Preston Gomez and Nick Adenhart patches:

Thought I'd add a little NFL flair into this baseball thread :)

I had a problem with the 2009 Carl patch and how it was used. Placing it under the Metrodome seemed wrong in the sense it was 1) smaller than the dome patch which makes it look like it's being crushed under the weight of the larger patch of the building and 2) it's a more "hellish" placement rather than having he Carl "balloon" floating in a more "heavenly" position over the dome patch. But that's just me I guess...

One can only hope the carnage for the Twins family takes a long break after 4 memorial patches in 4 straight seasons.

Several cards of Pirates players in the 1974 Topps set have shots that show the 1973 Robert Clemente 21 patch. Can someone help an old fart and post a picture of one of these? Thanks.

Here is one of the newer jerseys in my collection, a 2007 Toronto Blue Jays Frank Thomas jersey with the SP memorial patch.

1992 Mets jersey with William Shea Memorial Patch...

A toughie (which I'll need Bradley, Joel, or someone to post a photo for me, please) is the 1987 Don McMahon MAC patch on the right sleeve 1987 Dodgers unies. The patch was added midseason, so it's not on the quantity of team-issued gamers that have filtered into the hobby, and full-season used '87 Dodgers knits had that and the other patch removed for 1988 spring training (in which a Vero Beach/Dodgers home site 30th Anniversary patch was placed on the left, in place of the Dodger Stadium 25th Anniversary from the previous regular season). I have NEVER seen the patch intact on a '87 L.A. gamer in the hobby. The patch can be seen on numerous 1988 mainstream cards.
