Hoping for help on some jerseys!

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.
