MLB warm-up jackets from the 60s thru the 80sby theFalcon - 101 cards (Last updated on Nov 19, 2020) |
Speaking of outerwear, check out the video below for Opening Day at Yankee Stadium in 1970. The NY bullpen pitchers are wearing knee-length hooded parkas (1:43 thru 1:53). Can't recall ever seeing that before in baseball.

1. 1970 Topps #86 Lum Harris
Starter jackets did not exist in 1969, but they must have later ripped off whoever designed this beauty.

Great list! I always liked this model sported by Dock Ellis. The script and number on the bottom of the sleeve are nice touches. | ||
Excellent find regarding Ellis, I will add that one, thanks. | ||
Found a really sweet Phillies jacket worn by Danny Ozark. | ||
My last one for the day, Jeffrey Leonard. | ||

Fun list. Hard to pick a favorite. | ||
Thanks for those various Cardinals ... I'll add some of them where I see a subtle difference. They seem to have the same logo, but with different collars and cuffs. I won't add the one from 1962 ... no logo, although it's possible that none of their jackets had logos in 1962. I won't add the Jeff Leonard one for the Mariners ... the logo is so small that I'm not what it is. As an aside, the styling of that jacket is butt ugly. I've seen better examples for the Mariners and will add them later. | ||
Came across this Atlanta Braves one https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/80/cid/20516/1978-Topps-38-Willie-Montanez | ||
Yes, the 1978 Montanez is a good one, especially with the 100-year NL anniversary patch so prominent in 1976. | ||
Hard to think of too many, if any, other teams that affixed their special season uniform patch on everything the way the Mets did with their Silver Anniversary season of 1986 https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/33527/cid/488615/1987-Fleer-Award-Winners-25-Roger-McDowell | ||
Kansas City Athletics
| ||
Thanks for the leads on the KC A's and NY Mets. Struck out trying to find a good one for the Red Sox from '60s in the regular issue cards ... maybe there's one in the tribute/reprint cards. | ||
Milwaukee Braves
| ||
Good find re Spahn, thanks. | ||
I'll let you sort through and decide: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/93/cid/25148/1983-Topps-73-Allen-Ripley https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/8687/cid/512854/1984-Topps-Stickers-380-Mel-Hall https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/107/cid/48765/1986-Fleer-365-Bob-Dernier https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/107/cid/48766/1986-Fleer-366-Shawon-Dunston https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/107/cid/48779/1986-Fleer-379-Scott-Sanderson https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/110/cid/13358/1986-Topps-669-Ron-Cey | ||
Thanks for the suggested Cubs above. Tried to find a Cubs jacket from the 1960s, but no luck so far. | ||
Albeit small, here's a Twins: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/8702/cid/561666/1988-O-Pee-Chee-Stickers-262%20/%20282-Mark-Gubicza-/-Frank-Viola | ||

Thanks for lead on Greg Thayer, a total unknown to me ... doesn't have a Topps card. |
