35 Years Ago This Sunday...
In two days, it will be the 35th Anniversary of Ron Blomberg becoming the first "D.H." to appear in a regular season game. The Yankees are home that Sunday. It would be pretty cool if they were able to get Blomberg to throw out the first pitch of the game that day.

That's a really cool cover! Does anyone know what the patch over the left arm says?

I think that might be the 50th anniversary patch for the stadium.

I think this was the first year that the Yanks went to the double-knit uniform they wear today. Before that it was the old wool uniforms. The double-knits are a darker midnight blue instead of navy blue.
