Originally I was going to post a reply on the thread listed above, but It was in the Items Wanted section. I wanted to comment on the issue regarding the Sz 38 Gamble. I just picked up my first '77 South Side Hitmen jersey which is a sz 38 Gamble. There is also some video I was looking at that could possibly be the jersey I own. The video posted below is a game against Texas August 4th. I was able to come up with that by taking a look at the final scores of the other two games shown on the broadcast. Detroit at Minnesota and Toronto at Kansas. Whats Nice about the video is that it shows a few White Sox players in action. After comparing jersey sizes and body sizes and overall fit of this style of jersey on all these players. I feel 110% confident that Gamble did wear a Sz 38 with the White Sox. Not just to start the season either. After playing and pausing the footage I think this is the same jersey based on by the fit on Gamble and the letter and number spacing. I was looking at the fit of Zisk and Soderholm and they have at least 20lbs or more on Gamble and ther jerseys seem to be looser on them than Gambles sz 38. If Soderholm wears a Sz42 and Gamble a sz42 as well. You would think that the jersey would be just as loose on gamble if not more than Soderholm. Same goes for Zisk. The jersey I own as well shows lots of seson long use with pine tar on the shoulder, staining (grass, dirt and Sweat) team repairs on the letters and numbers from where the jersey was ripping apart. Shows no signs of being recycled from the minors either witha name plate being attached on front of the front and back. Either way I luv my newest pick up and wanted to share what I have found and get some opinions weather good or bad. Thanks!
