The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

[R. C. Walker]

My favorite purchase of 2014. A Yasmani Grandal with the Jerry Coleman & Tony Gwynn memorial patches and the ALS 75th Anniversary of Lou Gehrig's speech patch. The Gehrig patch is actually just glued on.

What I was told, all the ALS patches were removed from the Padres jerseys except for five. The ones which survived the stripping were the Grandal, Eric Stults, Chase Headley, Cameron Maybin and (if I remember correctly) Andrew Cashner.

Anyone else on here pick up one of the other four?

Staying with catchers, here's a 2004 Ramon Hernandez. Not a popular font nor color, but I like it. Lot of seams popped on this one. Can't go wrong with a backstop jersey.

GREAT thread, R.C.!

1978 Dave Roberts jersey. All original front and original All-Star patch. Back number and nameplate was restored by Lon Lewis.

Here's a '77 jersey to go along with the Kingman.

Unfortunately, Tommy John just had his Eponym Surgery so Randy Jones was a couple years too early for help with his injury. (Remember when Rotator Cuff tears were all the rage?)

During his previous two seasons though, he was THE hero of Padres fans.

Wow, great jersey, R.C.! Randy is STILL my favorite Padres player of all time. Got to meet him at the old Jack Murphy in 1994 behind the left field stands at his barbecue pit. He was wearing the then current navy/orange uniforms. I remember him saying that he wished for the old brown/gold uniforms, but they were paying him to wear the new stuff.

Hey Jay!
I know how much you love the brown . . . So here's one dedicated to the state of Texas. Former Padre and current Rangers Bullpen Coach Andy Hawkins. Dick Williams once called him the "Timid Texan". We know how Dick was so we won't get into that (or the No Hitter Loss). Has the distinction of being the only Padres pitcher to record a WIN in the World Series. I was at that game. Detroit was just too good.

Randy's been at Spring Training in Peoria the last couple of years as an instructor. Great guy.

You might want to do a search on this site for for info on Piazza jerseys. Don't think he wore a size 48. Others can chime in to verify that.

Call Bill.
