Cardinals 1997 TBTC Jersey

[Birdbats]

I'm looking for a St. Louis Cardinals TBTC jersey worn on July 4, 1997. The jersey is a throwback to the Negro League St. Louis Stars. It is a home white with "ST. LOUIS" in royal blue lettering across the front; has royal blue piping and three-quarter sleeves (see pic below). The Cardinals played the Pittsburgh Pirates, who wore throwback uniforms of the Homestead Grays. I'm looking for the Cardinals jersey only. Thanks!

There was a dealer in Cleveland at a Tri-Star show a few mos. back that had one..Can't remember his name, but I do know he had dozens of "Young Bat Co." bats for sale..He said he bought out the company..hope that helps, not much to go on, I know. Maybe Tri-Star has a dealer list from the show setup or a forum member recognizes the dealer?

I know the dealer you're talking about. He's from the Philadelphia area and was recently at a show here in St. Louis. He had a St. Louis TBTC jersey, but it was a road gray that was worn in August 1998 (I bought it). If he had one of the white ones, it sold before I could get it. Thanks for the note.

http://allstarsplus.com/newgameuseditems.asp look on this site. I think it is the TBTC jersey but might be the wrong game.

Thanks for the lead, Thome25. Your suspicions are correct... it's not the same game/jersey. I recently acquired a Renteria jersey from that game from Zane Burns -- a really nice road gray with navy piping and felt numbers. They were auctioned originally to raise money for the Negro Leagues Museum in KC. Thanks anyway... appreciate the help!
