With that said, the discussion should be over, right? Well, Getty Images has over 800 Padres images from 2001, and execpt for one player on photo shoot day, I can't find a single picture of a player in a pin-striped jersey from 2001.

So, either this jersey was made for Rickey before they changed to solids (someone needs to email By The Numbers about this error) or could this jersey have been from 1986-1987 and misdated? I didn't look at the tags to help determine an era.

Joel,
The HOF database uses the same format as the BY The Numbers.
I'm familiar with the By the Numbers pictures of uniforms. I'm not even sure about the accuracy of their work either. They didn't picture the solid white or the blue alternate in their data base. We know they were worn during 2001. There are hundreds of player photos from that year wearing these styles. Just no pinstriped jerseys. Rickey wore this pinstripe style during his first stint with the Padres in 1996, but those jerseys did not have the MLB logo in the back. Thank you everyone for your help.
