As far as the stickers on the Cardinals helmets, I seem to recall that they were an attempt to add a little life to a somewhat moribund team that year. I think that they wore them all season long, but only in 1975, as after that management seemed to determine that adding better players would help the team more than helmet stickers

[quote comment="88225"][quote comment="87873"]I seem to recall in the 1987 All-Star Game in Oakland, when batting in the 13th, Andre Dawson was wearing a Montreal Expos batting helmet. Yet he was a member of the Cubs at the time. I can’t seem to find a photo of it but I’m pretty sure that’s the way it happened.[/quote

You're thinking of Tim Raines who was playing for the Expos at the time. Dawson started the game and was replaced by Jeffrey Leonard by the time the 13th rolled around.[/quote]

ACTUALLY…I think you’re thinking of Lee Smith, who wore Tim Raines’ helmet while hitting late in the game. :)

Just a note on the Mets game today. Oliver Perez was shown in the dugout wearing new glasses. I’m not sure if he’ll be wearing them when he pitches.

[quote comment="86940"][quote comment="86880"]Are you sure you aren't mixing the Lambeau 50th anniversary logo up with the one when the team re-dedicated the stadium?[/quote] I am pretty sure that is what Paul is talking about. I was in college in Green Bay (St. Norbert College) when that logo came out, and it was indeed created for the "Rebirth of a Legend" when Lambeau Field did its renovations. I guess they were too lazy to make something else up. But in all honesty... I think it's a classic logo, so I'm glad they used it again.[/quote] Wow, another SNC alum on Uni watch! It's amazing the range of the uni-watch faithful!

I think it was the 1989 All-Star Game when Harold Baines was missing the scripted “C” logo from his batting helmet. Anyone remember this or have a photo?

I donâ€™t know if this has been mentioned, and I apologize for not checking, but Rafael Furcal is on fire (four hits in each of his last three games...1 for 1 so far tonight) I figured out the obvious reason for this. Before his hot streak. And during hot streak. Love it Raffy...Keep it (the pants) up!!! Vamos dodgers!!
