Uni Watch Sunday Potpourri
By Phil Hecken
Got the whole mess of things today, as well as the integrate of announcements. Nothing unequivocally to consecrate the main article though rsther than the bunch of smaller bits. So lets get started.
~~~~~~~~~~
Uni Watch Cold Case File? It all proposed when the integrate of weeks ago, Ricko voiced to me he saw the member of the Cleveland Indians (possibly George Hendrick) in what appeared to be an all-blue uniform. Ricko believed it was during an All-Star Game (I reason he saw it upon the single of those ASG shows), as well as it was only the fleeting shot. Last weekend, you put out the call for any the single who had possibly any reason of the Indians ever wearing the monochrome blue unvaried to greatfully get in touch. Unfortunately, no the single did, or if they said they had seen such the beast, no detailed proof was ever found. Like Fox Mulder, you instruct to reason there is such the unvaried sketch out there.
This would most expected have occurred sometime during the Indians Caveman unvaried (because of the rise style) period. Now, the 1975 All Star Game was played in Milwaukee (which was in the AL during the time), the 1976 diversion was played in Philadelphia, as well as though George Hendrick didnt fool around in this game, as well as the 1977 diversion was played in Yankee Stadium (resulting in another UW Cold Case). Even yet the Indians during which time competence have ragged the blue tops during home, its distant some-more expected which if they ever wore blue pants, it would have been upon the road. Hence, 1976.
To date, no photos of the all blue uni incited up. But, there were the little great finds by the readers. First, as well as this ran in the com! ments th is past week, was this black as well as white sketch of the Indians wearing the blue tip as well as red pants. But thats black as well as white, you say, how can you tell its blue over red. Aside from several righteous Indians followers who said it was so, its difficult to tell. Apparently they almost never wore this combination. What you indispensable was detailed proof. Well guess what? We got it! (That shot comes pleasantness of Bill Walsh.) Thanks Bill!
Finally, in an effort to assistance with the uniforms ragged in the 1976 All Star Game, Larry Wiederecht provided me with this shot of the 76 AL All Stars. There have been 3 Indians pictured, Frank Robinson (wearing the red tip with white pants), Bob Lemon (wearing the blue tip as well as white pants), as well as Dave LaRoche (wearing blue top, though the pants have been obscured). Could he be the all blue Indian? Interstingly, graphic right subsequent to LaRoche is Goose Gossage, who is wearing the all blue Chicago White Sox uniform. Is it probable hes the guy Ricko thought he saw?
Perhaps you can have the UW sleuths give this the single last college try, as well as see if you cant turn up the little kind of detailed evidence of an all blue Indians uniform. We cant let this turn in to the mythical blue pony Rick swears was upon which 1962 Broncos helmet. If this was, in fact, ragged during an All Star Game, someone has to have the dvd or video fasten of the game, right? Surely you can find the design somewhere.
And upon the completely unrelated note, in Fridays ticker, there was the illusory collection of photographs of the Bears personification in Wrigley. Sometime behind in November, you believe, the theme of football fields in ball stadia was brought up, as well as specifically the Bears personification in Wrigley. It was mentioned which due to Wrigleys size, the personification field hardly fit in to the stadiums dimensions, resulting in the single of the endzones being cropped as well as essentially ending up in the Cubs dugo! ut. Back then, the little contention ensued as well as you attempted to find tighten up pictures of which endzone/dugout. Nothing unequivocally tighten up was found. If any the single has or can point us to the tighten up shot of the cave in the endzone, which would be great too!
~~~~~~~~~~Thursdays mainstay upon the White Sox as well as the probable need for brand new uniforms (or during slightest the little tweaks) was met by often positive reaction. Thats cool, not everyone has to similar to the idea. But, you did receive the series of E-mails from readers who were interested in taking the shot during fixing another group (including the little who longed for to tweak NFL as well as college football teams). The football will have to wait, though you consider the subsequent group for which unvaried changes have been due is the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, Ive already got the single of the Crews excellent fans upon house for this one, though you would hope any of you graphic artists in chateau would additionally similar to to take the shot during improving, tweaking, overhauling, etc. the Brewers, greatfully give me the holler. There were lots of calls for teams (including the As, Blue Black Jays, Mets, Natinals as well as others) to be overhauled, though for the subsequent round, were going to repair the Brew Crew.
Interestingly, you additionally perceived submissions for the Orioles (courtesy of Joe Hilseberg), Cardinals (from Kyle Kendall) as well as Astros (thanks to Brian Fletcher) as well as the Astros have been surely in need of the unvaried overhaul. you additionally perceived dual additional submissions from those who longed for to repair the Chisox. The first, from Richard B. Gallina would have the Sox demeanour similar to so, as well as the second, from Adrian Brashier would give the Chicago boys this uni. There were most willing to try their hand during any team. Since so most of you out there have been intensely talented, lets give the Brewers the shot, as well as ensue from there.
So if you instruct to join in, drop me the line as well as note in the theme line Brewer Uniform Project.
OK? OK!

Fridays mainstay upon the Richfield Coliseum stirred Terry Proctor to send this nice followup note:
Dear Phil,
Your man Jim Vilk will be blissful to know which the cloth-covered dark-blue permanent seats from the Richfield Colisum right divided reason the fannies of fans in Rochester, NY. When the War Memorial arena underwent renovations in the late 90s the single of the big questions was the seating. So someone went out as well as got such the deal upon the aged seats from the Coliseum as well as right divided some-more than 12,000 of them reside during the Blue Cross Arena during the War Memorial. Like the lot of you out there you oldtimers still impute to the place as The War Memorial or The War. Old habits die hard. Hey, you attended the initial event in the building as an eight-year aged in 1955, the open traffic uncover featuring Rochesters excellent companies. Ive got the dedicated right to call it by its real name! You know what they contend about renaming the ship. The HMS Bounty was renamed as well as demeanour how which incited out.
Thank you Terry!
