Re: Ripken TATC on eBay

Nice info Tom.
I would love to see any pictures of Angels-A's game. I've never seen or heard of the A's using a TATC jersey. Maybe they did. Did most teams also have special caps made with the jerseys. I bet those give-away hats people trashed when they got them then, would go for nice $ now. Anyone have pictures of any of these?

I attended the Orioles TATC game as well & just wanted to point out that the hats that they gave out to fans were not the same style as the one the players wore in the game (wish they were). The giveaway hats were ALL silver in color with the orange bird logo.

It got re listed now and is over 11k, but still hasn't made the reserve. That is a pretty good price right there. I did find the jersey on a baseball card as well.

Re: Ripken TATC on eBay

I have some new information, thanks to Sports Illustrated, Baseball almanac and You Tube (yes, You Tube).

Here is a more complete list of the TATC games:

Turn the Clock Ahead to 2027:
7/18/1998: MARINERS 8, Royals 5 (Mariners wore black jersey, Royals wore yellow jersey)

Turn the Clock Ahead to 2021:
6/26/1999: ANGELS 5, Athletics 4 (Angels wore red jersey)
7/21/1999: GIANTS 10, Padres 2
7/23/1999: MARLINS 5, Brewers 4
7/24/1999: TWINS 10, Mariners 3 (Mariners wore red jersey)
7/25/1999: ORIOLES 8, Angels 7 (Angels wore blue jersey)
7/27/1999: Pirates 5, METS 1
7/30/1999: Rockies 5, CARDINALS 4
8/14/1999: Devil Rays 11, ROYALS 4 (Royals wore blue jersey)
8/18/1999: ROCKIES 4, Braves 1
8/20/1999: PIRATES 5, Diamondbacks 4
9/10/1999: Indians 14, WHITE SOX 6
9/11/1999: DIAMONDBACKS 4, Phillies 0
9/18/1999: RED SOX 9, Tigers 1

Some notes:

1> Home team above in Caps

2> Seven teams did not participate: Astros, Blue Jays, Cubs, Dodgers, Expos, Rangers and Yankees.

3> There were 14 "TATC Clock to 2021" games scheduled in 1999. I only account for 13, and there is 1 missing. Further, there are 7 teams specifically chose not to participate, and 22 different teams in the scores I outlined above. The only team missing from either list - the Cincinnati Reds. Don't know why.

4> As 1 game in 1998 plus 14 games in 1999 mean 30 teams on field, the fact that 7 did not participate means that 7 teams will have worn either TATC uniforms on 2 occasions. 6 of these teams are: Angels, Diamondbacks, Mariners, Pirates, Rockies, Royals.
Presumably, the 7th team was part of the game I am missing in my list above, and played the Reds?

5> Someone mentioned on the board earlier that the Tigers and Red Sox did not wear their uniforms (they were both slated to on 9/18). Also, it was mentioned that the A's didn't wear theirs when they played the Angels on June 26th. Did this happen on other occasions?

A nice screen shot of the ESPN Sports Center episode where the schedule for the remainder of the TATC games was listed...
