My Vintage Minneapolis Millers & St. Paul Saints Collection

[Tay1038]

1956 St. Paul Saints Road Flannel #25

Added this uniform to the collection this week. Story behind it is that the seller's late husband played ball locally around town and in Mexico, along with trying out for multiple baseball clubs over the years. During one specific year, her husband tried out for a baseball cub that Rogers Hornsby was instructing - not sure if it was a minor league team or major league club. At some point during or after the tryout - Rogers Hornsby gifted her husband a jersey of his. The seller could not recall what it all looked liked. Later in life their daughter wore the Hornsby gifted jersey around college (Local private college), and one day it was stolen from her apartment while she was living in the dorms and this Saints jersey was left behind in exchange.
