Admittedly, by today's standards, those jackets would be an eyesore. It's almost impossible to picture Big Papi, Ichiro or Manny trotting out of the dugout, wearing one of those.

But the Nostalgia factor, and the fact that they are so antiquated makes them all the more intriguing. I think it's more a case of "absence makes the heart grow fonder", rather than "eye of the beholder".

This hardly looks like athletic apparel... But I am sure that in a Catalogue Auction, one of those jackets (common player) would easily fetch $15,000 or more.
