I have never seen Jonny Gomes wear #61, so this jersey is completely alien to me. All I know is that it was bought from the Devil Rays, and could essentially be from any year (Gomes played from 2001 onwards).

It is supposedly a full button up jersey, though I am currently requesting a picture of the front.

Here is what I know:
2001--Princeton, #9
2002--Bakersfield, #9
2003--Durham, #28
2003--Tampa, #60
2004--Durham, #29
2004--Tampa, #60
2005--Durham, #31
2005--Tampa, #31
2006--Tampa, #31
2007--Durham, #40
2007--Tampa, #31

Additionally, I have been told that Gomes was not in spring training in 2003, and #61 was then worn by Ryan Jackson.

Also, in the 2003 AFL he wore #x7 (67?)

The below card is from 2002 Bowman Heritage, and appears similar:

But, what's to say it isn't depicting this jersey instead? It's from the same purchase, but I'm not sure if it's button up or not.

Does anyone have any idea? Even just the approximate year would be great.

This style BP debuted for all MLB teams in 2003. The underarm vents did not appear on any of the jerseys prior. This could, however, be anything from a 2003 to a 2006 (2007 saw all teams switch again to the 1-button pull-over).
As my own area of expertise is with Mets jerseys, I know that the Mets, although they did not switch jersey styles from 2003 to 2006, switched colors in 2005. Maybe a Devil Rays collector could chime in to possibly further lock down the year of this jersey?
