    Help with Jose Cano Astros Jersey

    I bid, not thinking I'd win, and without doing my homework. So, I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this jersey....

    - Seller claims 1990 jersey, and from what I see, Cano only played in 1989

    - Baseball Reference lists his number as 52, this is #39

    - There is a tilde on the "O", which I've never seen before

    Spring training jersey? Incorrect info from the seller? Name or number change? Not issued/used? I'm really at a loss here... anyone who can shed some light, help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks.

      The Jose Cano jersey you have is from 1990. During Spring Training that year he was #39. He spent the season playing for the Astros AA & AAA team. The tilde over the "O" is the correct spelling of his name and the use of a tilde is common for the Astros.

          Great, I appreciate the info. I just always thought the tildes went over "N's", never saw one on an "O.


          Thanks.

                          I am good. I just really had no idea after seeing the little info I could find... no problem here at all.

                          Thanks again.

                                  Just a follow-up... jersey arrived yesterday and looks great (and the little yellowing isn't as bad as I thought)... thanks!
