Thanks Scott. The photo is dated 1961 and the patch 1964.
Good eye Rob! However it's a good thing I'm not that anal about stuff like that.
Here is a TYPE I photo of Gehrig and Ott and the companion piece "Famous Sluggers" booklet. Once again, not a perfect match, but once displayed together, that pretty much doesn't matter.
