Jungle Jim Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 How are these brand new ballparks turning twenty years old? Heck, the new one in Arlington has already been replaced. I say this in jest, of course, but the building boom of stadiums seems like yesterday, and now these facilities are a generation old. Time gets away...

63Bulldogs63 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Article missed the 2 years of SBC park. If you're gonna do the whole crossout the previous name thing, should get it right. Also I know someone who works for majestic, err the factory that makes the unis. I'll see if they can shed light on whether or not that's a graphic issue in regards to name on back.

63Bulldogs63 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 So heres some insider info from a source of mine. Regarding replicas apparently nike changed the twill used to a cheaper :censored:tier twill for replicas. My source thinks it's so they get returned and nike can move production of those overseas. However with authentics players union contract states all authentics and game worn gear must be made in US by a union shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walk-Off Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 4 hours ago, Gothamite said: That's a pretty clever way of avoiding having to use the stadium's name. Unless I am mistaken, Major League Baseball forbids the use of sponsored names of ballparks on apparel worn by players and coaches during games. However, the prohibition does not apply to apparel and other gear that is intended for distribution to the general public. Thus, a replica jersey or replica cap might include a sponsored name of a ballpark while an "authentic" version of that same article of clothing would exclude the sponsored name.

Would also explain why the Cardinals had Busch Stadium on their 2005 patch for the last season at Busch II, but Inaugural Season on the patch for Busch III in 2006. The new stadium came with a sponsorship deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he has one of the most famous victories in Yankees history, he only was on the Yankees for 5 years during his 15 career, and was never an all-star. In contrast, Mel Stottlemyre, who received the honor last season, played his whole career with the Yankees, was an all-star 5 times, and was their best pitcher during a dark period for the Yankees. He is also responsible for being the pitching coach during the last great Yankee dynasty and has a plaque in Monument Park. There are a lot of people who were very good players on Yankee teams in the 1950s who did not receive armband recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He most assuredly does not have either a plaque in Monument Park nor his number retired. Don Larsen is the only person to pitch a perfect game in the World Series. I'd put money on him getting an armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been 11 years and I’ll never understand why they went with the Dominos logo over the more superior patch that was only used for the hat.
