    Post Unknown Oakland A's Player / Jersey

    Hi all. I'm seeking some information about the Oakland A's jersey in my collection below. I can't identify the player or jersey information. There's an autograph on the 7 of the 37 on the back that I don't recognize.

    If anyone has any information regarding player, style, year, etc., it'd be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    Looks like a batting practice jersey.

    I can tell these where worn by Oakland from 2003-2006 as batting jersey's.

    2 players wore number 37. Steve Sparks and the late Joe Kennedy.

    In my opinion it is signed by Joe Kennedy.

    I hope that helps.

    You can rule out Joe Kennedy:

    You can also rule out Steve Sparks:

    I'd venture to guess it was a player who didn't ever make it to the Major Leagues wearing #37

    Looks like he wore #37 on photo day in 2005 (Feb 28):

    Yours is probably a spring training jersey. Here are the pictures I could find from Getty, although none has a number.

    Actually, that last picture has number 37 on the batting helmet in his hand.


    Here are some more from AP:
