Default What's up here: DiMaggio Listed as #3 and #9 on 1936 Scorecard?

Hi all,

I just picked this up at a flea market today. It's a 1936 scorecard from a Yankees-Browns game in St. Louis. The Yankees played there in May and DiMaggio did, indeed, bat third in the lineup.

However, he is listed as wearing uniform #3 in one place (in the lineup) and #9 in another (the roster beneath it). Please see the pics below. I know that in 1936 he wore #9, before getting #5 either late in the year or in 1937.

Crosetti, Selkirk and Powell also are listed with two different numbers each. Rolfe, Gehrig and Dickey, meanwhile, have the correct numbers in both places!

Just a messed up job at the printer? Thoughts? Would I do better to post on the memorabilia side?

Thanks,

Robert S
