This ain't kosher
Howard Wolf saw this on eBay, and sent it along to me, with his observation, which I am in agreement with.
The jersey:
The jersey:
Advertised (inaccurately) as a game-worn Lou Piniella manager's jersey
The problem:
How does an MLB gamer have a Russell logo on the sleeve, and an AIS tag in the tail?
The answer:
It ain't kosher!

Re: This ain't kosher
Dave/Howard,
AIS (aka SportsRobe) is the premier manufacturer of jerseys/uniforms to be worn in motion pictures. I have a jersey that is very similar to this one you have referenced -- it is also a gray Seattle Mariners jersey with the AIS tagging -- mine however also comes with a letter of authenticity stating that it was worn in the 1994 film "Little Big League" -- by Ken Griffey Jr. I can check my jersey later tonight to see if it also has a "Russell" patch on the sleeve. I am speculating that because Russell was the official supplier of MLB uniforms, there was a clause in the contract that any jersey featuring a MLB logo at the time must also have a Russell logo on it? (this part is just my guess)

That's the Little Big League jersey. I was considering the Griffey one on eBay, but passed and it was identical to the one pictured.

Re: This ain't kosher
If I recall Junior and Randy Johnson opted to wear their own gamers for the movie as they both have the traditional all blue RA sleeve logo.
Always looking for Seattle Mariners & anything of Felix Hernandez, Jay Buhner, Richie Sexson and Arthur Rhodes.
