Team,
This last week I was looking through a collection and noticed this gold 1983 Rickey Henderson Rawlings jersey. It is tagged "1983" and "Set 1". I have not run across this type of A's jersey in the past. I have checked Getty Images, Bill Henderson's knit guide and most of my A's photos, cards, and programs, but to no avail. All of the A's gold 1983 jerseys that I have owned or seen have the block "OAKLAND" across the front and not the script "A's". What also struck me about the jersey was the tall numbers on the "HENDERSON". They were roughly 4" inches tall and very thin. The jersey was also autograped on the front. Could this possibly be a 1983 batting practice jersey?? I could use any and all assistance on this jersey. Thanks for reading and I appreciate coming to this forum to get great information.
