A great, 'what if', Ted.
I hope the Memorial Day weekend was good for you and Charlotte.
Several years ago I was in Owensboro Kentucky, talking with a fellow who I deemed super knowledgeable about the Owensboro Oilers, a minor league team that folded after the 1955 season. In 1955, and for a few years before, they were a low minor league affiliate for the New York Yankees. The New York Yankees would pass 'last year's' uniforms down to the A affiliate, who would pass the 'year before that's' uniforms down, and so on. This guy had a BUNCH of 1955 Owensboro jerseys (I remember looking at a couple of jerseys, didn't look for pants, that might have been there). Anyway, the Oilers were 4 years down the hand-me-down line... I may well have been looking at a rookie year uniform that Mickey Mantle wore.
