Cigarman44 - Wondered where all those bats were going!
Great job this past month. Hey - I was wondering about that Edmonds U37 that you have. Can you email me at bigtruck260@centurytel.net
Picked up this Tony Larussa Chicago White Sox jersey with the 75 years patch on the sleeve. It's a sand-knit size 44 from 1985. sorry for the poor photos. Also got a Carlton Fisk will post photo's soon.
BTPH, thanx for the update on the tag. I have always been an Internet kind of guy when researching jerseys but when RKGibson was kind enough to post his two reference books, I started digging around eBay and found that there is a plethora of vintage books out there. I have a feeling I’ll be updating my sports library.
When in doubt, checks with the guys at the forum. I just got this jersey and I believe it’s a Giants jersey from the mid-1960’s.
The jersey is long sleeve and was made by Sand-knit with only one tag on the bottom of the jersey. The material is not dureen but a combination of cotton and perhaps double-knit material. The numbers are sewn onto the jersey. Take note of the sleeve-numbers and how high the numbers are on the back. A nameplate was never on the back of the jersey.
It is an awesome jersey with little or no wear. Any help would be appreciated,
Jim
The font of the "9" seem to match the photo you posted. However, the "Sand Stretch" tag was not introduced until 1968, or sooner. It's a cool jersey at any rate. Will do a little more research...GOOD LUCK!
RK: Thanx for the Information. Been all over Getty Images and there are several images and like you, I can't seem to find a Number 90. It is a very cool jersey indeed.
Here are a couple of book I have that has pictures of that style jersey. The Game is copyright 1963. The Giants is 1964. The Giants book has pictures on about every page, but no #90.
