It's not game used but it's Tony Gwynn "Single A" Contract

Game used or not, it's still a great item. Pro contracts from his career are probably rarer than his game worn jerseys are.

More than likely these were used by the minor leaguers during spring training in the back fields of Yuma.

By the late 70's early 80's, the top Padres affiliates had their own uniforms. Possibility of Amarillo, Reno or Walla Walla though.

Neat photos! Thanks for sharing. If you have anymore old photos of Padres minor league teams please email them to me. I'm especially interested teams from 1984 and before.

Here is a rookie Luis Salazar road jersey. I think he is still working with the Padres even after he had one of his eyes taken out by a flying bat.

Ditto 1980 - home version.

John D'Acquisto . . . My Dad's favorite pitcher.

Here is a 1984 Gary Templeton World Series year road jersey. Mr. cheerleader, without his flag waving and enthusiasm, I don't think the Padres make it to the World Series in '84.
Fun times!!

Not if you're a Cubs fan (like me)

PS: Still a great jersey, nonetheless.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

Sorry Dave . . . . More from '84. Carmelo Martinez Road.

Unfortunately, the two things I remember about the Cubs at this time were the scathing and ill informed Mike Royko piece before the NLCS “We Are Going to Slaughter Those Lousy Wimps” and Keith Moreland along with Ron Cey turning their backs on the Padres during player introductions.

Hey Dave, thanks!
I'm sure the first two games were fun for you Cubs fans though...

For sure...I had front row box seats down by the Cubs bullpen for both.

The Count is one of my Facebook friends. I always found him interesting and good to the fans.

Nice HOFers Kyle! That's only the second Padres Maddux I've seen.

Re: The Official SAN DIEGO PADRES GU Thread

To much debate with his slow start and Yasmani Grandal added to the '15 All-Star team, it looked like the Dodgers got the better of the deal . . . Well, as the season for my Padres comes to a close and "The Bison" nears 100 RBI's, I have a new found respect for Matt Kemp after seeing him play every day.

Memorial Day jersey with his trademark tar stains. Thanks Russell from Fanatics.
