Warm Up Sweaters

[baseballart]

I've always admired the warm up sweaters from the first part of the century. I don't have any baseball, and the only one I have is from Andy Aitkenhead's estate, when he played for the Saskatoon Sheiks.

Here's a photo of one of the players in his sweater (not Andy)

Are there other sweaters out there for display?

Thanks, Max

I sold this one on ebay a couple of months back - it was from a 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps baseball team and belonged to Lefty Stimac who was a phenom in the St Louis Cardinals system until he blew out his arm.

Here is a sweater I have c. 1910 that came with a pair of Malden High full collar jerseys. It is a pull-over style.

This is one of my favorite photos. Cornell BB 1904 with Coach Hughie Jennings. This is page from a 1904 Cornell/Penn baseball program. Whole team is wearing their warm up sweaters.

Here are some Red Sox sweaters.

Unfortunately, none of them are mine, although I did bid on the first one (didn't even come close) at a time when I wasn't really into collecting Red Sox all that much, but was at an auction for a gorgeous glass Beer sign I ended up winning.

First is an Elmer Steele sweater pre-1920

Second is one from the twenties

Enjoy

Here is one that sold on ebay last week. It's not Yankees or Giants, but a great looking sweater.
