I used to try everything on. I got my first game used jersey in 1978, when I was in the 9th grade. It was an old Oakland A's jersey that had been sent down to Tucson (and still had the Toro on it). Anyhow, I wanted to wear it to school, but my Mom politely pointed out that I looked ridiculous in it.

I don't feel the need to try them on now, but I don't care what other people do. Many older jerseys went down to the minors after the major leaguers finished with them, and in any case they've been washed by the teams many times. Just my opinion.
