Joey Votto, with the wrong uniform (vest with block-style lettering), number, and hairstyle.

The Reds' current uniforms aren't perfect, but I'm so glad they aren't wearing those anymore. They aren't the Cincinnati Blacks.

Rick Martin was best known wearing # 7 for the Buffalo Sabres, but early on in his career he wore both 8 and 9 before settling on the number that the Sabres would eventually retire in his honor.

The # 8 picture is especially interesting, since he's wearing gloves with the number 7 on them.  Martin wore 7 at first, then switched to 8 and 9 before going back to 7 for the rest of his Sabres career.  Not sure why he switched numbers so many times.

Today is this guy's birthday. This is his "wrong" uniform for the Pirates, his "right" team; he only spent the first three seasons wearing the first iteration of the Pirates' double-knit set. (And also note the wrong number as well- #50 instead of #27!)

what's odd is that Baseball Reference has his rookie number as 32, with no mention of 50.  From the looks of the stadium in the background, I'm assuming 50 is a spring training number, then he got 32, though I cannot find any photos of him in that number.
