The thing is: the uniform was white...the only thing I can conclude is the powder blue (which I do believe was the Mets shade of choice at that point) was washed out. I have to think that because even the number font was the same one the Mets used for the road at that time (different from the home font). Anyhow, I'm not sure this is an Oldtimers Game because didn't Aaron play in 76? Unless this is Oldtimers Day at Yankee Stadium in '76.
