Default 1969 Tony Perez Reds Home Jersey

This one is headed to the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum as the ball club has special display for Perez this season as they look to dedicate a statue to him in August. 1969 was the last full season at Crosley Field and the first of two seasons in which Perez hit 30+ HR and 100+ RBI (the other being 1970; arguably his best season).

A very subtle thing I love about this one is that if you were sitting in the stands at Crosley Field in 1970 (the last one) and you were looking at the cover of your scorecard, you'd be looking at a shot of Perez crossing home plate in 1969 after an apparent home run, being greeted by Bench and Rose.
