here's a look at two-time world champion juan uribe in some brooklyn dodger baby blues
courtesy of his 2011 topps update diamond anniversary cognac parallel.the dodgers wore these uniforms - a nod to the 1940's - six times during the 2011 season, which was uribe's first with the club. he was just coming off his second world series win as a member of the 2010 giants (he was the starting shortstop for the 2005 champion white sox) but didn't really hit his stride for the dodgers until 2013.
i remember hoping that the dodgers would wear throwbacks again in 2016 in honor of the 100th anniversary of their first fall classic appearance because that would have meant some sweet checkered uniforms on cardboard. no dice, unfortunately, but the team will get a new city connect uniform this year so there is that to cross your fingers on.
