Will try one final time to post pics here. My gut tells me not to even try, but I do love the thread.

The final item pictured is Stan Rojek's Satin Home Jersey from 1948. These are coveted by Jersey collectors, as they were very short-lived. Management thought the shiny satin uniforms would help fans to see the players more clearly during night games. Night Baseball was still in its infancy state (and somewhat of a novelty). 1940s era lighting was anything but "state of the art". The Satin was nice idea but players hated these Unis, as they didn't "breathe", and looked like they were wearing pajamas. Thus, the very brief lifespan of the satin material. Really looks cool in person, though!

I'm sure these pics will come out sideways as well... sorry in advance for that!
