Montreal Expos game used jersey

[R. C. Walker]

Almon was drafted by my Padres #1 out of Brown University. Major trade (joke) sent him to Montreal for Dave Cash.

RJB44 is correct. A quick search of the Internet shows Bill wore 19 during spring training and 6 during the regular season. A spring training jersey would have, more than likely, been a recycled one. There's no concern on having a set two being that he started the year with the Expos.

You can tell by the fading on the shoulder blue stripes that this one saw minor league use. Probably remnants of a nameplate will be around the NOB. Dave Meidema should be able to corroborate that practice.

RC is correct. Most Expos jerseys of that era were recycled in the minors, and the Expos, unlike many teams, would sew plated NOBs and even plated logos over the MLB NOB and logo.

From what I can see in the photos, it looks reasonable to me.
