Tug McGraw 1965 Uniform Number

[suave1477]

I spoke with Mitchell and Ness as I was curious about this myself.

This is what they told me:

#56 was Tug McGraws number in his first Spring Season when he joined the Mets. He changed his number to #45 going into regular season.
According to them they have pictures of McGraw in Spring Training wearing #56

That is what they also told me after I told them I spoke to the mets. I would hope that at the very least they would change the way they have it listed and indicate to buyers that it is a spring training jersey and I see they have not done so as yet. In addition I asked if I would be able to purchase one with number 45 and was told no. I find it disappointing they cannot accommodate customers with a simple request like this. In my dealings with Ebbets Field Flannels which hold the license to make minor league jerseys they are willing to do any jersey of any minor league team from any year and their prices are usually $100 less than M & N.
