A 46 doesn't seem out of line for the Crime Dog. Jersey sizing now is far different than from 20-25 years ago. The size 38s and 40s of the 1980s are now the size 42s and 44s. McGriff, despite his size, never took huge (for the era) jerseys. A 44 in his Blue Jays, Padres, or early Braves years would be accurate. At the end, he might have made it up to 48, but I'm not aware that he ever took any 50-something sizes, even in the early 2000s. By comparison, a guy who's bigger and bulkier, Frank Thomas, started his career in a 46, ususally with 2 inches extra length. He didn't go to 50s until the mid-1990s.
