And the lower horizontal bar on his "9" (the one in the middle of the number) meets the right-hand vertical bar at a right angle (like on the Edwards 99) and not at a 45 degree angle (like on your uni cards and on the MLB uni shop web site). Still looking for a photo on this one, anyone have a photo of a sox game-worn jersey from the last couple of years with a "9" on it? Probably Tim Wakefield is the best bet. I think the font is different on the actual jersey than on the digital logos. Watching the Red Sox game tonight, I saw quite a bit of Kyle Snyder’s back (#39).

The new material is a lot lighter and it's pretty nice to have on while the sun is beating down on you even though the cap is navy blue. The brim is pretty nice, it might have something to do with the fact that there is absolutely no glare or anything coming back at you (a rare case of the marketing claim being true). The cotton also cleans off a lot easier than the wool would for me, I work soft serve at a minor league park (Dutchess County Stadium, home of the Hudson Valley Renegades and this years All-Star game for the NY Penn League) and somehow got a few sprinkles on there that left a few colorful spots. They cleaned off with ease which was nice.

The piece on last night’s USA-ARG game claims that Maradona was wearing an Argentina jersey. He wasn’t. Instead he wore this abomination. The real deal (ca 1986) is this.

The difference is the crest. The real McCoy is squarish and reads “AFA” while the impostor is heart-shaped and just “86.” Diego thinks we can’t remember which year he won the cup?

Maybe he doesn’t want anyone to remember how the “Hand of God” helped that ‘86 Argentinian team?
