Reggie Jackson rookie number

[prichmond]

I just got a photo in the mail of the 1967 K.C. A's. the player I believe is Reggie is wearing number 34. can any one confirm or deny that? Baseball reference doesn't list that number for him

thanks

According to baseball-almanac.com, Reggie wore #31 during his September 1867 call-up. #34 was worn by Ramon Webster, a backup 1B.

Can you post a scan of this photo?

The baseball almanac backs up Mr. Miedema's statement.

here you go. first row on the left hand side. Shure looks like reggie but I could be wrong.

It does look like Reggie. Is this a spring training photo from 67? He could have been issued no. 31 when the season started.

I found this photo of Reggie wearing no.34 for the Birmingham A's. The photo may have been taken at Rickwood Field in Alabama.

The Birmingham A's theory may be the right one....

Considering it looks like a B on his ballcap.

there you go....it's not a picture of the 1967 KC Athletics, but rather of their Birmingham AA affiliate (as evidenced by the "B" on their caps)
