Re: April Pickups

I acquired this 1976 Phil Niekro jersey back in January, but just had it returned today from a private signing. Like many Braves jerseys from that era, it was recycled and used by the Richmond AAA team--thus, the change from "ATLANTA" to "BRAVES" on the front. The "ATLANTA" outline is still visible. I was able to photo match the jersey to a shot of Phil from '76. Variations in the collar stitching and the stitching around the 35 (that can be seen) are as distinct as a fingerprint when enlarged.

Recycled or not, it's still a great early knit of Knucksie.

2016 Festival Jonrón Pepsi - The Home Run Derby associated with the Caribbean Series

Re: April Pickups

Scratch that. The Festival Jonrón is associated with the LVBP of Venezuela and not the Caribbean Series which means the year is probably 2015.

Re: April Pickups

Posted in the Vintage section as well, I recently purchased this from an antique dealer in Montgomery, AL...the inscription reads "Giants 7 Crakers (sic) 5". Atlanta Crackers vs possibly the New York Giants? I'm not sure if they were ever a Giants minor league affiliate, so I'm not sure if they would have played them for any reason. More likely some other minor league team called the Giants, perhaps. Not sure, but I thought it was a neat & unexpected find.

My guess would be a 1938 NEL game ball of a game featuring Atlanta vs the Chicago American Giants as that was the only year they were in the same NEL league together. Any logo on the ball? Heck of a find.

Re: April Pickups

Virginia basketball jerseys are extremely difficult to find as all of the outgoing players have the option of keeping every jersey they've worn. Usually, UVa's anual spring jersey sale is nothing more than a few walk-ons, players kicked off the team or transfers. This year was a little different.

Most of the players the average fan has probably never heard of. But I managed to find:
Will Sherrill, Ryan Pettinella (whose claim to fame is staring as a cave man in a Capital One commercial), Gary Forbes (who played with the Nuggets), Adrian Jospeh and Tunji Soroye.
