Tony V Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 31, 2009 John, yes it is marked USN just over Soft Ball. I did find it interesting but I can't date it. Ron, I bet the uniform looks cool, perhaps you can post a picture of it with the glove and ball. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siege1863 Posted January 31, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 31, 2009 Here is the baseball team of the USS MISSISSIPPI for the 1921-22 season. It would be interesting to see how their equipment is marked. Note the variety in the uniforms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's grey wool flannel..Every now and then a uniform piece turns up where i got these.. The shortstop pad was there, but its in a building they dont open to the public anymore, so i gotta wait until they bring it up front.. Fins.

Tony V Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted February 1, 2009 Gentleman, great pictures ! Thank you for posting them. We all remember that there were a lot of pro players that were in the service and I am willing to bet that they would love to have played in their free time. Or anytime that they could. I understand that there were teems all over and some great games were played during the war. Thinking of it I am willing to bet that we all can name some hi profile players like "Stan the Man", seen pictures of him in uniform. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted February 1, 2009 Share #15 Posted February 1, 2009 Tony, My uniform is like Lewis's uniform. The vet I got mine from was named Sturtz.He stated one of the guys on his 1943 team was a pro and played for St.Louis(?)I forgot his name and he (Sturtz)was to write me after moving but never heard from him.He said he had an invite to try out for St.Louis after the war but his father said he would not make any money being a ball player.He never went but was evidently a better than average player.

john31 Posted February 1, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 1, 2009 guys nice uniforms, its nice to see pictures of this stuff being dug out! learn something new everytime here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony V Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted February 1, 2009 Ron I bet you will remember his name when you least expect it. Is it not great how many uniforms that were around ? From the pictures from Lewis and Fins and siege I have to wonder if at the Baseball Hall of Fame they would have any on dsplay that were used by our fighting men and women ? I think they would be somthing to see. History in may ways ! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
