S.F. GIANTS PRE-GAMES/BP'S...HELP!!!!

November 8 2005 at 9:52 AM HOWARD WOLF (Login hblakewolf (http://www.network54.com/Profile/hblakewolf))

Good morning Forum readers-

I recently purchased 4 San Francisco Giants pre-game/batting practice jerseys. These are the current style Majestic brand, first worn in 2003. Black button-down with GIANTS sewn on front in 3-color lettering. Sleeve patch. The reverse has the huge "shadow" style numbers in the same 3-color matching tackle twill. The numbers are positioned quite high, and as such, names were never on these or intended to be added.

Per Bill Henderson's uniform CD, he indicates that the Giants only wore the current style BP's WITHOUT names on back in 2003, and since then, have had names on back. I have found photos on Getty of these warmups with the names on back being worn in 2005, however, have no reference to 2003 or 2004.

Can a Forum reader who is familiar with Giants equipment, specifically these pre-games, please provide some solid information on this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

RUDY-THANKS FOR THE INFO ON THE GIANTS BP'S

Rudy-
Thanks a ton for the info on the Giants BP's. As per Bill Hendersons AMZING CD on uniforms, he nailed the BP's I have as being from 2003 and it is supported by your photo.

My only question, are we positive that 2004 versions had names on back? Any chance to see a 2004 photo?

Rudy, thanks again.

Here are a couple of images from Corbis that might help out:

Corbis Image DWF15-610085

CAPTION: San Francisco Giants pitcher Kirk Rueter (L) talks with catcher A.J. Pierzynski during a break in practice, at the team's spring training camp in Scottsdale, Arizona February 27, 2004. Pierzynski had a .312 batting average with Minnesota Twins in 2003. (This one is from Spring Training in 2004 and shows name on back of jersey).

(This one is from Spring Training in 2003 and shows NO names on back).

I hope these help!

Jim-
Thanks for the insight on this. As noted, the BP's I have appear to be a one year style from 2003.
