I bought the 1983 Tom Seaver jersey

This was going for $100 (actually $100 not $99.99) at Dick’s and there are at least six others in existence.   I have been unable to locate one on the internet, and anything close sure wasn’t $100.

It’s a pullover (I got gutsy and went large rather than XL again, I thought the XL would look like a tent but I’ll need to skip a few trips to the Shake Shack).  It has the racing stripes down the side.  It’s very 80’s.  This is not to honor the Tom Seaver of Cy Youngs, but the Seaver of 1983 with 9 wins.

I realize this is my first player-name jersey.   Dan had an article on Saturday that asked if y’all like personalizing jerseys with your own name or do you prefer player names?

I have found it hard to wear the name of someone 20 years younger than me.  Seaver could be my dad.  I have met Tom twice, and both are great stories.  I may have to share them one of these off-days.  They are very cool.

Do you guys have any random jerseys in your closets?  Something that seemed like a good idea at the time?   Send in some pictures to shannon@metspolice.com

I’m a big fan of the site Straight Cash Homey Dot Net which is where this Gotay jersey is from.   They post random jerseys every day.

Gotay and a red cap.  Oof.
