Old PCL Jersey?
Hello all,
I found this Jersey & cap among my late dad's effects. A few people think this is from the Angels in the PCL, sometime in the early 50's. It kind of makes sense, because my dad played in the minors then. But he never played with the Angels! He was lower in the minors, Porterville Packers in 1950 and Yuma Panthers in 1951, so I have no idea how he got this jersey.
There's also a cap I found. Sadly I couldn't locate any pants. There are two pairs of old stirrups and one set of sliding pads, but I have no way of telling if they were from this uni or a team he played on.
Any thoughts on this? I've had the jersey professionally cleaned and the cleaner (who works with vintage garments) thought that the "52" tag (not the size tag on the neck) inside the jersey meant 1952.
I'm thinking of putting these up for auction. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good auctioneer for this kind of memorabilia?
Thank you,
Doug MacKenzie (father had same name)
