double play progression

it's thanksgiving and hopefully everyone is full and with family and/or friends (if they so choose). here's a post of a bunch of double play cards i've added to the collection over the last several months. i've put them in a sort of order that shows the progression of the pivot at second base.

at least the hat is blue

so. much. gray.

that's fred mcgriff's 2003 topps gallery card. it's an obvious conversion from a cubs uniform to a dodger one, with the most egregious error being the coloring of mcgriff's number on the back of the jersey being red. the cubs did that on their blue alternates and away gray jerseys, but not the dodgers. mcgriff was known to wear blue sleeves under the cub blue jerseys on occasion, but i've never seen a photo of him with this gray under gray look. 

here he is in dodger gray with blue sleeves, 

courtesy of a 2004 donruss timeless treasures card. that looks right.
