Don't post on this forum often, but I thought I'd share this with the baseball fans on here. 1970 Doug Rader Houston Astros “Shooting Star” Game Worn Flannel Jersey A couple interesting and historical facts about Rader and this jersey – Arguably the best 3rd baseman in franchise history, “The Red Rooster” had one of his best offensive seasons in 1970, establishing a career high in home runs. Rader also won his 1st of 5 consecutive Gold Gloves in 1970 (1970-74). In addition, Rader’s Gold Glove in 1970 was the first Gold Glove won by a Houston player in franchise history (Colt .45s or Astros). The jersey is all-original and unaltered. “ASTROS” and the shooting star logo are chenille stitched across the front in orange, navy, and white. The 12 on back is made of double layer orange and navy felt, which shows good use. There are 6 ventilation holes underneath each arm. Thrilled to own this jersey!

Not all of the game jerseys are made by Ripon Athletic in Berlin, WI. For instance, over the past few years, the Patriots jerseys have been made in New York. They switched to Berlin, WI this year (2011) though. Here's an '09 Welker and '08 Vrabel from my collection.

"That guy Mack" is one of the reasons this community even exists. I don't care if it takes him a month to set it up. It should rest in the hands of Mack who has been in the community since the very beginning. I know Mack personally. He most certainly won't just disappear.
