Re: December Pick-ups

Edit: I meant to write that M&N produced the flannels, but not the manager Torre eras Instead of the other way around.

How do I edit my post?

Re: December Pick-ups

Knit v Flannel and different eras are both correct answers. Mitchell & Ness reproduced the Joe Torre era two button pullover unis.

A different manufacturer reproduced a flannel version of the '60s Mets home unis with a uni number on the front and back. This was the only flannel version worn during those ceremonies. Thus, Frank Thomas appeared in a historically inacurrate uni. Frank's uni had a number on the front of his jersey, even though his Met stint ended in 1964, before the Mets began to wear uni numbers on the front of their jerseys.

George Theodore, Felix Millan and Willie Mays also appeared in this flannel uni even though their Met stints were exclusively in the doubleknit era. A doubleknit version of the Mets 72-77 uni was not made for Shea's closing festivities.

Re: December Pick-ups

perhaps knit vs flannel

That was my thinking maybe Majestic could not get the material..What happened to the Yankees ones worn did the players keep them??

Re: December Pick-ups

No idea I would have thought Mitchell and Ness would have done them since Majestic never released this style and Mitchell and Ness did.The way I see it Mitchell and ness did early 60's to early 70's and Majestic did early 80's to current.I love this style it's my favorite and have been in search for a Flynn gamer for a few years with no luck.So this was cool he wore it during the ceremony..Here is the Mitchell and Ness authentic was a Bobby V I striped it making it into a 78 Youngblood...

Re: December Pick-ups

DCRULES ok I am probably asking a dumb question but I am curious why is flynn wearing a Majestic Throwback and I noticed the guys to the right of him in the picture are wearing Mitchell & Ness Throwbacks????

I am not taking anything away from your jersey, i just found it odd the Mets would have 2 different manufacturers make jerseys for the same game/ceremony.

My guess is that the various companies made the different styles of repro jerseys that the players wore during the playing time. Just like the Yankees wore during the last game...

Re: December Pick-ups

Does it have anything to do with the eras the players played or if some are in cooperstown or the mets hall of fame?

Happy New Year Davis!

Re: Actually an awesome Christmas package from one of the nicest Mariner players….

Brian was an excellent pitcher with the M’s in the early 90’s, in 1991 he led the team in ERA and wins. He was acquired with Randy Johnson from the Expos in a big trade. Unfortunately he had his career cut short in 1992 by an arm injury. Today he supports a lot of charitable causes with a focus on the Leukemia foundation and other organizations that focus on the children.
The package he sent me is awesome and will be one of the center pieces of my collection…landed on my porch on 12/26 J
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Re: Actually an awesome Christmas package from one of the nicest Mariner players….

That's great, Ty. That's a nice personalized jersey! You should feel great about what you are doing.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Hello frikativ54,[/FONT]
Thanks for the compliment! But the real credit goes to the players that provide the support and we need to encourage more of it and recognize it when they provide it. I have been lucky in regards to seeing such great players as Jay, Edgar, Junior, Randy Johnson, Jeff Nelson, Brian Holman, Matt Young, and Scott Bradley. The list goes on and they have not focused on one charity but several, even when times are tough I have seen plenty of these guys come forward to help.
Cheers, Happy New Years….and god bless!
