Help with a Yankees #55 Jersey - Matsui?
Just picked up this Yankees jersey. Looking for some information and thoughts on it.
The MLB and Steiner paperwork lists it as a 2010 Game Issued Jersey. A couple issues with that. The MLB logo is red/blue and not blue/grey. Also, the tagging is Russell and not Majestic.
According to the Majestic tagging I believe it was issued 2001-2003.
In 2001 and 2002, Ramiro Mendoza wore #55.
From 2003 - 2009, Hideki Matsui wore #55.
The Yankees wore patches in 2003. So, if it was issued in 01-02, then it is likely Mendoza's.
If it was issued then, but not worn until 04 or after, then it could belong to Matsui.
On to the the sizing. It is a size 50 with 4 inches extra length, which seems like a lot. I found another Matsui jersey that was a size 50 but no extra length. Does anyone know if he ever received extra length jerseys?
Any idea on Ramiro Mendoza jersey size?
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Tom
