TwoRsAndTwoLs Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 We had both "E. Martinez" and "T. Martinez" in Seattle, at least for a short time. I do remember there being discussion on the Griffey's and adding the Jr./Sr., and I think Jr. got added for like, one season. Sadly, I don't have photos to back that up.

BRice16 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The same situation occurs on the Braves where Chipper Jones' uni sports just "JONES" whereas Andruw Jones wears "A. JONES". That is due to the fact Larry arrived in Atlanta before Andruw. This season, Andruw dropped the "A." from his jersey. Both now read simply "JONES" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 This situation happened in the NBA too.Isiah Thomas had a Pistons jersey that had "ISIAH" above "THOMAS," with the first name in a smaller typeface.VandyDelphia Mike would no doubt also remember the Flyers' Ron and Rich Sutter, who not only had both their first names, but wore #14 and #15, because they weren't hard enough to tell apart. But they put the first name to the left of the last name.The only other time I saw a team do what the Pistons did with Isiah Thomas were the late '70s LA Rams, when they had two Youngbloods. One was Jack Youngblood (I can't remember the other one), and "JACK" was crammed between his last name and his collar. All but lost by the neck roll.EDIT: Big thanks, oz. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I knew someone here knew. Was he the same Joel Youngblood that played baseball at about the same time?EDIT #2: Big thanks, Brick. Guess it wasn't the same Joel Youngblood if it wasn't, in fact, Joel Youngblood. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel played for five National League teams, mostly the Mets and the Giants.Chad Cordero and Will Cordero both had initials on their jerseys. Now that Wil Cordero has been released, I don't know if Chad has dropped his initial.I always thought that Chipper and Andruw Jones should be referred to collectively as Cajones.

Puckguy14 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 It was interesting when Rickey Henderson was trade back to the A's in 1989, many thought including the announcers the day of the trade said that centerfielder Dave Henderson would add the " D. " But yet the team didn't so in left field you had Henderson #24, and Henderson #42. Go figure if its you're a casual fan watching the game.Speaking of which, I wonder if its pure coincidence that Will Clark of the Giants wore #22, the same number Jack Clark wore and the team didn't want to produce a new jersey. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Chad Cordero and Will Cordero both had initials on their jerseys. Now that Wil Cordero has been released, I don't know if Chad has dropped his initial. Watched the Phillies and Nationals tonight, and Chad Cordero still had the first initial C on the back of his road jersey.It basically makes the Nationals' closer's jersey look like its producer had a stuttering problem ...

dfffd61 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The Rangers have left off the initial as long as I can remember. When we bought A-Rod, both him and Pudge had just Rodriguez on the back of the jeresey. Currently both Mike and Chris young are "initial-less".

RickV Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Didnt the Orioles have "F.Robinson" and "B.Robinson" when they were both playing there? Not that there was any trouble telling the two apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its wearer has a falling-on-his-face problem.
