I should add one of thing and that was that the person I bought it from had another jersey he thought belonged to Dots Miller, so I said I'd look at it. It was from a local team from Kearny and I was able to tell him it was his grandfather's jersey, so that made it extra special to him.
He never thought to check inside for the name and he didn't know his grandfather played baseball, but I had an old newspaper article with him mentioned.
