I Have A Really Cool,1970 Expos Don Drysdale Coaches Jersey!

Big D also had White Sox Sand-Knit pullover jerseys as part of a BP pitcher uniform he wore in the mid-1980s before retreating to the announcer's booth for the game itself.

Re: Obscure jerseys from Amazing Players

A couple of years ago, late in the season, Mel Stottlemyre Senior was made a special pitching consultant, or some such title, with the Arizona Diamondbacks; I remember seeing him in the dugout during a game, wearing a DBacks uniform.

I certainly wouldn't mind getting that jersey for Christmas.

Another one of somewhat similar genre (which I once owned):

2003 ST Cubs uniform of Will Clark...the Cubs' nemesis in the 1989 NLCS became their friend that spring as he went to camp (in #22 jerseys with his name on back) to work with then-promising young 1B Hee Seop Choi.

Duke Snider was a coach for the Expos, as well...he is seen in an Expos road uniform in the 1976 SSPC set.

Re: Obscure jerseys from Amazing Players

Sure would like to find this one . . .

And, of course, there's Kong in a Yankees and Angels uniform in 1977, as well.

Willie McCovey......San Diego Padres ('74-'76)

Or if you really want to find a needle in a haystack......how about a McCovey gamer form the Oakland A's? He had 24 at-bats, 5 hits, no homers for them the second half of 1976.
