Jersey experts? Help with maybe (?) Joe Torre Mets

Thanks everyone!
Legit Mets team issue with Torre's number will still look awesome on my wall next to my Torre Yankees jerseys.

Although, that photo from the first reply looks mighty close...

Its a great looking jersey and judging by the condition of the Rawlings label and the lettering, it looks like it was used multiple seasons.

I'm thinking Gregg Jeffries and not Joe Torre.

Not Gregg Jeffries for sure, he was not a Met till 87 and those uniforms are not even close to the same.

Mets #9 players between Torre and Jefferies, Bruce Bochy 1982, Mark Bradley 1983, Jerry Martin 1984, Ronn Reynolds 1985.

They changed the road jerseys in 82 and home jerseys in 83 to have stripes from the collar to the end of the sleeve. So all those guys are ruled out.

It looks same/similar to the 78-81 road uniform. I believe names were added in 79 to home and away jerseys. Would the manager have a BP jersey? Also not sure if the manager would have his name on the back of the jersey.

I could not find many pics of Torre as a manager and none from the back. The ones I did find did not match the jersey posted by Sean, there was a slight difference in the #9.

In 1981 the Mets did have their NOB on their road jerseys...Is their evidence of a nameplate being removed? You can either turn it inside out or hold it up to the light to see evidence of such.

You're right on all counts

A manager would have a BP jersey and their gamers would have their name on back
