As you may know, I have a man crush on Lee Mazzilli that dates back to the late 1970’s.
I want to buy myself some sort of Mazzilli jersey (number 16 of course, how dare they give that to some rookie pitcher in 1984) but I don’t know how to handle it.
They sell Mazzilli jerseys, but they are 1986 style, and are accurate with a #13 which Lee wore upon The Return.
He’ll always be #16 to me, so that doesn’t work.
I don’t believe 1978 style jerseys (home or away) are available or easily customizable. Â If they are please tell me!
A pinless makes no sense, a retro makes no sense but might be the best move. Â I don’t have a retro and I could pretend Dave Howard held an Old-Timer’s Day and Lee came.
I could go ironic and get a black Mazzilli 16. Â BP jerseys are 20% off today. Â Maybe that?
Any advice?
