Fred Lynn Orioles - Photo Match?

[beantown]

I've been trying to photo match my newly accquired Fred Lynn Orioles Gamer from 1985...tough to find good photos of Fred from his Orioles days! I found this one in a Orioles yearbook...is this a photo match???

Also note the arch on the lower part of the nameplate...starts low under the "L" and more material appears under the two "N's"...

not the same.

not the same.

Wow, very insightful response....

Doesn't appear to be amtch, the only thread i can really see in the pic is halfway up thr "Y" and yours doesn't have it. Ricardo

Who knows if that's a thread or a print flaw.

It's possible, but you'd need a better shot of the plate. The way the two layers of twill don't run parallel on the bottoms of the Ns would be something to compare if you had a better, straight on shot. The part of the N you circled looks like it could be, but you'd need a better photo.

And, technically, wouldn't you need to compare the numbers too? I'm not a baseball guy...would there be a chance that a plate would be used on 2 jerseys?

Greg,

Hello...I agree that another shot of the nameplate would be helpful, but I can't seem to find any...I know the angle is off, but I feel that the "N" is a match.

I agree about the #'s too, but unfortunatley this photo doesn't show the rear #'s well enough....I'm not sure what you mean when you say there's a chance the plate would be used on two different jerseys?

I simply meant that I suppose it's not entirely impossible that a nameplate could be used on 2 jerseys. So even if you had a match on the nameplate, you'd still need to match the actual jersey. But maybe that's highly unlikely...not a baseball jersey guy.

You asked one question, he gave you a response.....why the sarcasm?

How about an articulate response on why he thought it wasn't a match...

In looking at the pics, I can't see why you'd need anything further than what he gave you.

There is nothing even remotely close in linking those 2 pics to call it a match. The circles you drew show nothing specific nor do they match anything on the jersey in question, aside from a very basic style match.
