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!

I (try to) narrow my collecting to '60's era Chisox gamers and unique memorabilia. The low budget White Sox recycled uniforms as much as or maybe more than any team that decade. Over the last four decades I've kept an eye peeled for all-original jerseys from that time period - to little avail. Fortunately, and very humbly, lucked out on this one earlier and recently framed it. It's a fantastic 1968 powder blue road (two year style) and all original (numbers, nob, tag etc).

If you have or know anyone that may have original White Sox gamers from the period and possibly interested in selling or trading, I'd sure like to hear from you.

Thank you
Bob

I'm a little late, but I must say, phenomenal piece. Congrats.
