That was just a marketing thing, Rawlings called its flannel "Hall of Fame Flannel". This kind of tagging was also used in the majors.

Learn something new everyday. That's why I love this site. Had no idea that was done with the HOF logo

Very cool. Nice find! Could be a coach maybe? Like you said low numbers aren't usually given to no-names.

Great point... could've been a Coach's Jersey. There's a website that lists all of the coaches by team by year, but I don't have time to research.

Definitely a professional model jersey... The Dodgers used McAuliffe, Spalding and Rawlings Hall of Fame Flannels in the early-to-mid sixties.

According to the Rawlings Roundup; 1952 Volume 4,(Internal company trade publication), Rawlings began tesing this new fabric in May of that year with sample uniforms provided to select local Browns and Cardinals players.
