Pretty excited to get this in the mail today. 1983 Mike Boddicker jersey. Boddicker was the ALCS MVP and won a game in the WS that year.

Thanks Jay, that fellow is Dan Tobey...Not sure who the other fellow is, but I'm guessing he is the trainer for the team.

Jeffrey Powers-Beck has a new book coming out next week about the Nebraska Indians and I'm hopeful there is a lot of info in there that I don't already have...I'm intrigued as there is a book or article mentioned "Experiences with an Indian Ball Team" (1908) that I've never heard of.

Product Description
This is the first book that includes all of Guy W. Green's baseball writings: "A Complete History of the Nebraska Indians Base Ball Team" (1903), "Fun and Frolic with an Indian Ball Team" (1904), and "Experiences with an Indian Ball Team" (1908). The works detail the athletic success and humorous escapades of the most famous American Indian barnstorming baseball team. A substantial introduction provides historical background on the formation of the team; on Green's life, writings, and other ventures; and on the later history and owners of the Nebraska Indians after Green sold the team.

About the Author
Jeffrey P. Beck is associate dean of graduate studies in the English department at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Clint, nice jersey...Boddicker was one of my faves when he pitched for the Red Sox.

How many O's jerseys does that make it now?

Wish it was the entire game, but the size (20.5" by 9.25") and the strong, colorful graphics make this a cool piece for framing. Included two small, wooden? footballs that may or may not have belonged to the game...but they look like the footballs shown on the box.

Thanks Dan. This one makes 10. I might go for the Orioles 20 game winners that used knits. The Palmer will be next to impossible due to the cost though.

Although the "Pine Tar Game" is still fresh in many of our memories, original TYPE I photographs of Brett going completely nuts are almost non-existent, as most of the photo services had been phasing out wirephotos, and by 1982 Laserphoto II was introduced.

Incredibly, this is the first of any TYPE photo that I've seen of this highlight mainstay...
