After a long absence, Mike Hersh is back with a new batch of wire photo finds — of these are from him, except as noted. Lots to like here, so let’s dig in: • Many of the photos in this batch are Reds-centric, beginning with this one from 1958. The guy in the . . . → Read More: There’s No Service Like Wire Service, Vol. 19 I’ve written many times about my library of uniform catalogs. But the one shown above, which I just scored on eBay a few days ago, is different. For one thing, it’s devoted exclusively to bowling shirts. For another, there’s no printing — by which I mean ink on paper or on some other . . . → Read More: Flock You! (Or better yet, me.) Pretty small turnout for last Saturday’s Uni Watch party (that’s what happens when you schedule something for what turns out to be a gorgeous October afternoon). But if we were short on quantity, we were long on quality. Here’s a rundown of the attendees: • It was so great to see Scott M.X. . . . → Read More: ‘Only since 10 a.m., why?’: Brooklyn Party Report In a move that I didn’t see coming, Adidas announced yesterday that seven of the company’s football schools are being outfitted with fancy-shmancy new jerseys.

So, what better way to honor today than to offer up a bunch of great number 10s in the sporting world. For today’s exercise, . . . → Read More: The Perfect 10…10…10 By Phil Hecken If you’ll notice that splash photo, you may say, “that looks familiar.” It should, since it was included in Paul’s always amazing College Football Preview that appeared on ESPN last month. If you scroll down to the “Big East,” under USF, you’ll note this short blurb: • USF‘s white helmet, . . . → Read More: Colorization – First Coat Today’s batch of wire photos all come from the Sporting News archives, which are currently being sold/liquidated/etc. on eBay (my thanks to Dan Cichalski for letting me know about that). Lots of good stuff, so let’s get crackin’: • The Red Sox changed from flannels to stretch-knits midway through the 1972 season, and . . . → Read More: There’s No Service Like Wire Service, Vol. 18 |
