While I'm not unhappy with it, this is still gonna look odd:

Man, just when I had finally forgotten about that...

When the eff did that happen?? Wrong uniform, wrong number...just all the way wrong. The Reds traded him at the deadline in 2008 to the Sox. The next year he returned to Seattle. ...and he didn't want to take Nick Swisher's number 30 from him, even though Swisher offered it to him.

Are those cheerleaders or Hooters waitresses?

I'm trying to ID both of the fonts in this: Heh. Actually, there are three fonts in that picture - I'm just looking for the two at the top.

On the bright side, it wound up being a 1-for-1 swap!

Here's one I'm trying to find...I keep thinking of Kabel, but I don't think that's it...

Here's Jake Peavy rehabbing with the Charlotte Knights:

Of course, that was in AA. He never saw a day of real major-league action. I did, however, see him in a pre-season exhibition game against the Cubs at Wrigley where he went 2-4 with a double.

You're correct, that's an Indians uniform.

I remember that the Alouettes signed Vince Ferragamo: and James Scott: ...to contracts right around the same time.

To further compound the Griffey strangeness: After today, he'll be wearing #30, so him wearing #17 for the White Sox is...well...extra rare!

Nellie Fox at the beginning of his career as a Philadelphia Athletic: ...and at the end as a Colt .45:

I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank...the number "25" in this picture? I keep coming close, but not quite close enough.

I'll do you one better! Sammy Sosa, with the White Sox, on 1990's "Turn Back The Clock" day!

I had forgotten all about this, and I'm a Sox fan.

Anybody know something that looks like the uniform number on this (the 25, not the 40 patch)? I figure that this isn't a readily available font, so I'll settle for something close.

Anybody know what font this is (or something similar and, preferably, free)? Oh, man, I kept thinking that I've stumped you, but didn't notice that my image was replaced with a hotlink notice. Image fixed, still looking for it, if possible.

Thanks, man. You never cease to amaze me.

Here's one I'm looking for: It's the font used by Topps on their 1987 set...TIA!

Here's one: I'm looking for the "Get out of jail, free" font... I think it may be in the Swiss family, but darn those plain sans-serif fonts, they all look the same to me!

Howzabout this one? My gut says it's Garamond Bold Condensed...is my gut right?
