1992 Mets Nostalgia Game Jerseys

[island_style]

Hello, Forum members.

Does anyone have any information regarding the tagging for the jerseys the Mets wore for the 1992 Nostalgia Game held on August 30, 1992? This is in reference to the 1985 Mets jersey thread and the Adult tag.

I have a Mets jersey that is tail-tagged with the Nostalgia Game date, along with the player's name. However, it has a retail-type collar tag with Adult. Does anyone know if these jerseys were sold in the team shop at that time? Please share photos or knowledge if you can.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Ron,

Nice jersey. You don't see too many of those 92 Nostalgia jerseys around. The Met team shop in 92 was a very small store in the atrium of 575 5th Ave in NYC. They didn't have the volume of game used items or jerseys you can order in those days.

Like these nostalgia jerseys the other type of GU jersey you hardly see are the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) Shirts off their backs gamers. During the early 90's the Mets would have a games where you can buy raffle tickets during the game and you can win the jersey that a player wore for the game. Special MDA patches were affixed to the jerseys and winners were allowed to go on the field after the game and were handed the jersey personally by the player who autographed it on the spot. Proceeds of funds went to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
