The Giants only had a day to play in the playoffs from the end of the season, and won the west by 1 game. Not like they were going to cruise into the playoffs with a huge lead in the standings. The Dodgers , at least in the earlier '70's had jerseys marked set P for playoffs. I had a '74 at one time, and Lon confirmed it at the time.

Thanks for the help on the Giants...I remeber when the false scenario was conventional hobby wisdom. I forgot about the set P 1974s...that's another one....the reminder is appreciated.

That jersey could have a bit more significance than the average piost season jersey. One of the greatest post season stories of all time was Reggie's 3-HR game in 1978... he did that in a home jersey...

Reggie's 3 HR game was in 1977 WS, not 1978 WS. So this was not the jersey he used for the 3 HR game.

2000 White Sox ALDS (home and road), detailed tail tag.
1986 Mets (year tag...no such tag in regular season jerseys)
1981 Dodgers (same as above)
1979 Angels (same as above...all three were made by Goodman)
1986 Astros (Rawlings set 2 1986 flag tag...Goodman made regular season unies)
1950 Yankees (51 year tag, and no AL 50th Anniversary patch on left sleeve)
1984 Cubs NLCS (85 year tag and round patch/imprint on right sleeve)

Also, I defer to Lon or Charles and their niche expertise on the Giants to ask whether or not any Giants 1972 tagged flannels were worn in the 1971 NLCS.

The 86 Mets also tagged their BP sets (home and road) with the SET P playoff tags too.

I guess you're right... 77... 78... it all blends together in my mind.

Hmmm... when was the last time my team went to the World Series in consecutive years?



But on the bright side, we scored 17 runs today

At least the mets have won one in the last 25 years. I am a tortured Mets fan but compared to my other favorite teams they are on quite the roll my Jets have not won in over 40 years, my Knicks are not far behind and my Islanders are a couple of years more removed from the Mets devoid of stars.

What does everyone think are the top three most famous post season jerseys (whereabouts known or not known) in the hobby?
