Newest Met Mystery

Here's a photo from game 6 of the 86 NLCS. Rafael Santana is wearing the style no. 3 of jacket.

David,whats going on. Thanks. So that hopefully narrows it down to ST 1985. Anyone with a guide book from '85?
I'm starting to lose interest in this but I've never seen any of these jackets forged ever. The closest to someone not ever wearing one but it was made for them was Mark Langston(Mets made the trade sending Howard johnson,Tampani,West but Mariners pulled out at last second). I was in the Mets clubhouse shop in Queens I think 1989 and hanging from the ceiling for sale was the unused Met jacket with LANGSTON stiched on the back. I think they wanted $190 back then which was crazy but I wish I had it now. But again I've never seen a NOB jacket/warm-up forged.

Robert,

I don't think this jersey is from 85 either. The half zipper style of starter jackets didn't start until at best 89- into the early 90's in my opinion.

The only other Miller who was active in the Met organization during that era was Rich Miller who was a minor league manager and roving instructor.

It's certainly a mystery who this jersey belongs to but it certainly is not from 1986.

How about another mystery. In 2000 I bought a non-game used Met jacket on e-bay. It was brand new ,#12 o sleeve and the e-bay seller(from New jersey-forgot his name)was selling about 7 others including #31.
Has anyone else ever seen a retail Met jacket sold with a number on the sleeve? Is this real and was it(were they) stolen? I believe the number would for the style belong to coach John Stearns.

Those are really nice jackets. I don't believe I've ever seen them in retail including Mets clubhouse shops.
