My experience with these type of jerseys is that they are typically are autographed by the player after the game and handed to you either by the player or by the team. Since this jersey was not autographed, it is possible that it was never worn and would be an unused/issued jersey. Also, sometimes with specialty jerseys, the player may wear a different number than what he normally would wear during the season since the jersey with his normal number would not fit properly.

Anyway you look at it, I would not view your jersey as a "Ryne Sandberg minor league jersey" as you described it. I would research who wore #23 in the 2006 season and when they wore these jerseys in 2006 to determine whom was assigned to this jersey and label it as team issued.
