Horrendous Mattingly Jersey

This one's so bad that it's quicker to state what's right with it than all that's wrong:

1. It's grey.

RJ, that one is pretty bad. Don't understand how an auction house could put garbage like that up on their site.

Heres one on ebay:

I have seen a few of these retail jerseys with the "Mattingly 92" tag. They are all signed with the same style Mattingly signature. Someone must have made these up for a signing, now people are trying to sell them as used/issued jerseys

Re: Horrendous Mattingly Jersey

HIDEOUS!! Thre name should be in the collar (along with a year and set number), the Wilson tag should be in the tail, Mattingly wore a size 42 then, and the NEW YORK front font isn't even close. Only at Coach's Corner!!

Jason,

Actually the one you linked isn't as bad as you think. I'm not as familiar with the Ft Lauderdale & Tampa Yankees jerseys from those days, but the one you linked does resemble jerseys used by the Oneonta Yankees in the late 70's/early 80's.

DonFan, Yankees retired #4 throughout the orginaztion in 1939

I would be shocled if they let one slide by in the 80's.

But hey as I learn everyday anything is possible

I didn't see the back at first glance. Comment was related to the front, but I do agree with the number issue.

Definitely not organization wide. I know the AAA Scranton Yankees issues 4 each year. Eric Bruntlett wore it this year. I can't seem to find a photo of any Ft. Launderdale Yankees road jerseys but that does seem familiar and possibly could be correct even with the 4. But I certainly don't know for sure. The Mattingly is a disaster though.

Kinda like Ernie Banks' #14 for the Cubs...retired at Wrigley Field but used in the minors and even the Arizona Fall League (Eric Hinske wore #14 in the AFL as a Cub 10 years ago.)

I love how they use a camera phone to take pictures of the stuff they have for auction.

Re: Horrendous Mattingly Jersey

Thats intersting that the Yankees would retire #4 for jus the Major League club and not the others. I know the Mets have retired numbers for the Major clubs and have done so for the Single A club.

Re: Horrendous Mattingly Jersey

Found this photo of Steve Balboni while he was playing for Ft. Lauderdale. Seems to be a perfect style match for that #4 jersey.

It could be worse...the seller could set the items on the toilet to photgraph 'em.
