Damn! That Crown is a work-of-art! Glad it is in your possession.

Thanks BTPH, and Andrew for your previous comment. Me too, it's a great piece.

Pictured here is Kingman's '84 and '86 Road Oakland A's jerseys. I've had the '84 since the very early 90's. A blockbuster year after being given up on by the Mets and waived; 35 HRS and 118 RBI while also posting a very nice .268 BA. He earned Comeback Player of The Year in the AL.

Just obtained the '86. Another great year, 35 HRS again and 94 RBI. And how is it that these numbers do not get him a contract ANYWHERE IN BASEBALL in 1987???

Kingman wore #10 in '84 and part of '85 due to the presence of Billy Williams as he did in a Cubs uniform in Chicago for the same reason. When Williams left in mid '85, Kingman reclaimed his #26.
