Got knocked out of the laced-front uni on eBay, but picked up this nice 1905 Spalding uni, thanks to Mark S.

This one is headed off to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum for loan/display as part of their All Star Game display.

Sweet! Nice one, Dave.

Scott,

Thanks. When I started rebuilding my Reds collection, I told myself I was only going to acquire Crosley Field Era items. The last game at Crosley Field was 24 June 1970 and the 1970 All Star Game in Cincinnati was held on 14 July 1970, so this is just a wee bit outside of that. 1970 was the first year I really followed baseball, and having grown up in Cincinnati during this epic season, I just could not pass up the chance.

I only wish I still had this tee-shirt that I had my school picture taken in that year. My mom was horrified when they sent these home as I neglected to tell her when pictures where taken.

That's great Dave!! Who'd have guessed it would lead to such a monumental Reds Collection?

I had a shirt just like that in 3rd grade, but white. It may still be packed away somewhere. Now I've really gotta find it!

Love the photo, Dave!
