The number on the front looks a lot bigger than others I've seen from this era. Thoughts? Thanks.

Adcock was 6-4 and 220...even in that era, I can't figure him fitting into a size 42 jersey.

My guess is that the jersey is from team auspices but has been repeatedly number changed into near-oblivion, either by minor league affiliates or by a hobby "doctor".
