1968 Braves bat boy jersey and photo

Hi Group

This is an interesting find. Alittle while ago I bought a picture of Hank Aaron with the bat boy (this is an unpublished picture). Recently the same person who sold me the picture decided to sell the jersey that was in the drawer next to the picture. As you can see the jersey in the picture was orginally sewn together due to the boy being so small for it. The jersey I have is a proper button up one with the same lettering and style as the pictured one. (Noticed the letters were moved over on the one in the picture to compensate for this. This jersey has no compensation for this. I believe that this jersey I have was used perhaps in later in the season or the following year? Would love to talk to the bat bay if anyone knows how to get ahold of him. No luck with the people I bought the picture and jersey from. (The chest of drawers came out of Atlanta, Georgia) The whole chest of drawers was filled with baseball memoriblia. Balls mainly. I did pick up a nice baseball signed by the 1971 Braves team signed baseball that also has members of the gas house gang on it? (Terry Moore, Frank Frisch, and Dizzy Dean) I guess that is another story.

Thanks

Jason
