Yes, it should have Brock's name on the back. The uniform is minor league issue, not a Brock uniform. I find that photo interesting because the Cardinals had numbers on their sleeves (not on the front) in 1979 and 1980. Is the photo from spring training?Jeff Scott

Re: 1979 Lou Brock St. Louis cardinals Problem
Sad to say, there have been dozens of times where either ignorant or unscrupulous sellers have tried to turn these minor league jerseys into "spring training" jerseys, or made some attempt to try and tie a $50 or $75 jersey to a major Cardinals star. I've seen it too, with Boyer, Simmons, and Reggie Smith, among others. The Cards have worn NOBs since 1963, covering the last several seasons of flannels and the entire doubleknit era.
Many years ago, there was even a 1967-68 Cardinals minor league #9 flannel that some d-bag was selling as a "spring training" Roger Maris gamer.

Also...if I recall correctly, Brock used to have a straight-cut tail on his gamers, not the rounded cut like this one has.

Re: 1979 Lou Brock St. Louis cardinals Problem
I'm confused, the site had this item listed as the following:
The Old Timers game is a chance for the fans to see the old and new. Hall of famer Lou Brock wore this in a 1980's Old Timers Game. The jersey is double knit and exhibits minimal wear. The Cardinals logo is beautifully embroidered in chenille stitch. The "20" identifiers are two color sewn on tackle twill. The lower left tail contains the Wilson flag tag [size] "40", in addition "L.Brock" is written in ink inside of the back tail. Also offered are the pants which include button snaps and a drawstring including the Wilson tag [size] "30" and "Brock" written in the inner waistband.Comment

Re: 1979 Lou Brock St. Louis cardinals Problem
Even an old-timers game jersey would have Brock's NOB.Jeff Scott
