There is no way Rickey wore a size 42 right?


Thanks.

could be a scoreboard jersey hard to say, They made them like this in 1991. Contact MEARS for validation

This one could very well be genuine. Henderson took a 42 in this time frame, and all Score Board jerseys I have ever seen were home whites, not road or alternate versions.

A size 42 in 1991 would not be out of line for Henderson. They all wore unis very tight back then and he is listed at 5' 10" 185. Very plausible.

Taken from the Mears Census Report:

(A5) 1990 Home - sz 42
(A5) 1991 Road - sz 42
(A10) 1991 Home - sz 42
(A10) 1993 Road - sz 44

I would say that size 42 on the jersey you are looking at is spot on.
