Rich Reese 1969 game used jersey

Mike,

Just a couple of commons with team number changes. The felt swatches in the collar for player identification are no longer present. The home is actually from 1943, but with the number change and missing supplemental identification, could never objectively be attributed to Luke Appling. Bought it as a style as that is what I collect and have built my exemplar library around...common players and coaches with very very few exceptions otherwise.

I've seen that road Sox jersey before up close. Dave Bushing owned it at one time and I took a picture of it when I visited his home.

That home jersey is stunning. Thanks for showing them off.

Love these styles as well... Not only did the Cardinals and Browns share the use of Sportsman Park in 1944, but both teams also employed Bobby Scanlon as their regular season bat boy.

I was lucky enough to find this Sporting News photo a while back and had it enlarged into a very nice supporting graphic. Browns jersey is a 1945 Jack Kramer and the Cardinals is a 1943 Elvin "Buster" Adams.

Dave,
Those are terrific shirts and the photo makes it! Congrats!

I feel that this is an intriguing photo of Gus Bell (hint, hint)

Are you sure that jersey was worn by Rich Reese? The Twins were notorious for recycling jerseys. The lack of the patch points to it being used post 1969. And that number font was not used by the Minnesota Twins.

Hi Bryan,

Interesting question. I don't claim to be an expert on Minnesota Twins jerseys. Here are photos of an all original 1969 game used jersey of the Twins' George Mitterwald that was sold by Mears in 2008.

Does this uniform number font match mine, or not? PLMK
