Ryne Sandberg Franklin Shirt

[thelesquad]

I bought this shirt a few years ago. I didn't spend a whole lot on it, but I'm not sure what I purchased exactly. Can someone shed some light as to the use/time frame of the shirt?

I sold one like that a few years ago...maybe it was to you. If so, I never really knew too much about it, but the cursive writing of "Sandberg" on the back is very consistent with Yosh's writing. my guess is that was worn in the mid/late 80's. I remember one time I was able to find a picture of him wearing a mesh batting practice jersey and you could clearly make out this style Franklin undershirt. So that is what I believe it to be an undershirt.

Hope this helps.

I did a quick search on Getty Images and found this:

It may be the picture you're referring to. The date on the image says 1982, but that isn't correct.

taking into account the gold glove patch, id have to agree that this photo is in or after 1984.

Very possible. I can't tell you exactly when I bought it.

Thanks! That is a big help!
