Hoping for help on some jerseys!

Possibly......?

Drain Black Sox

The Drain Black Sox (1952-1961) were winners of the 1958 National Baseball Congress World Series. They were the first West Coast team to win the title until the Aloha Knights took the title in 2004. The Sox were inducted into the Oregon State Sport Hall of Fame in 2000.

Definitely some similarities to this more recent style of jersey. I am thinking that the Drain Black Sox is the answer, but it's an earlier jersey than this picture circa 1960.

Bob and Tom thank you so much for your help. I relayed this to the owner and he is happy to have a lead!

You might already know that the Tiburones de La Guaira are a Venezuelan professional team. That uniform may have been from 1995, because I see where it carries a black #14 on its shoulder, and that year Tiburones/Sharks player and former MLBer Gus Polidor was murdered. He wore #14, which was eventually retired. The player who wore #13 that season was Miguel Castellanos.


All from Google-- my knowledge of Venezuelan baseball is basically zero.

Wow thanks for that help! Great job. Owner will be very appreciative.


Btw both of these jerseys were found at a goodwill outlet store where items are bought by the pound.
