  1. I'm sure this has been posted, but as a Red Sox fan, it's strange to see David Ortiz in a uniform that isn't Boston's. But it turns out he played for the Twins from 1997-2002, which was a time period I didn't pay attention to sports that much. It's also double strange since I began watching sports in 2003, Ortiz's first season with the Red Sox and Boston's championship year. Bonus points for being an alternate that he only had the chance to wear for three seasons.

    Fun fact- Ortiz's first clutch October hit actually came as a Twin.

    Game 5, 2002 ALDS. Twins were up 4-1 on an AJ Pierzynski 2-run HR. Ortiz hit an RBI double that proved crucial.

    In the bottom of the 9th, Mark Ellis hit a 3-run HR. If Ortiz hadn't come through, Oakland ties the game and who knows what happens.

    Another guy who had a big role in a Twins playoff game, but will probably be considered in the "wrong uniform" fairly soon....

  2. I haven't seen this one posted...

    Joe Johnson as a Boston Celtic:

    Playing vs. other guys in wrong uniforms as well...

    Crazy to think he was traded to Phoenix along with a first round pick to Phoenix for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers. Just think, they could have had KG at center, Paul Pierce at small forward, Ray Allen at shooting guard, Rajon Rondo at point guard, and Joe Johnson at power forward. Granted Allen and Johnson are both SGs (putting him at the PF position wouldn't really work that well), and I doubt contract parameters would have allowed it.

  3. It's true that the original topic of this thread used "the wrong uniform" to mean "the wrong team". Still, it is perfectly valid to broaden the concept to add "right team but wrong uniform", especially as the original theme had long ago run its course.

    BgMack already mentioned Robin Yount wearing the wrong Brewers uniform. Others that qualify in this category are:

    Each of these guys is pictured with a team that feels right for him, but in a uniform from outside the eras with which each is typically associated with that team.

    We could also add wrong facial hair, such as Derek Bell:

    Yes...the same guy as this...

  4. You know what bugs me? People posting pictures of obscure or semi-obscure players with no name or reference expecting that everyone knows who they are.

    I have a feeling these have been posted before at some point, but it's 183 pages and there are several duplicates.

    Jari Kurri

    Gotta disagree with Walt Weiss because he was an integral part of the inaugural Marlins team.
