Circling back on this comment, Kaline is wearing his Leone's uniform (Sandlot team from Baltimore, MD where he played in 1953). I assume this means that this 1947-66 Exhibit was released shortly after his arrival in Detroit. Here's a wire photo of Kaline (not mine) from 1953 where he's in his Leone's gear:

And here's a relatively recent article (2019) discussing this sandlot team and Kaline's involvement with it:

Quick Edit to your post
 

Bobby Thomson had no P in his name. *And it took me years to learn that as well*

Rich

haha my bad and I’m still learning. Appreciate the feedback :)

Perhaps, just perhaps, the birth certificate spelling it "Thomson" is a rare error version, and somewhere out there is the corrected document with the surname spelled "Thompson"?????? :D:D:D

Like Kaline, Monte Irvine is also wearing a minor league uniform.

"Imgur" appears to be back, so am I, with just four more to go!
