I liked them so much more than I liked the early 80's jersey's that never seem to go away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontierDayz Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Sleeveless?…the only player in the pre steroid era who handsomely could fill the sleeveless uni was Ted Kluszewski…mainly RedLegs but later ChiSox 59-‘60…Mods disqualified due to steroids and attitude…oh well…bring back Old Style and cigars to BlackHawks’ games!….Cragin Strong here!… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I like the 1971 Road Uniforms. I picked up a tshirt with that style from '47 Brand that I wore for the Sunday night crosstown game at Wrigley and fist pumped a guy wearing the button up jersey of the same style. I love those kind of random Sox fax interactions. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a good beer. The ones they brew here are typically good. The ones in NY/Col previously brewed here (312, IPA), not good. They should keep the cans the same, or just wait to issue a World Series commemorative issue! In terms of the alternate uniforms, I like these the best. 10 minutes ago, wegner said: I like the 1971 Road Uniforms.

Bill Melton had a 5.7 bWAR season, and was 13th in AL MVP voting (Wilbur Wood was 9th) with an .843 OPS (134 OPS +). Carlos May was also a solid player for the Sox, finishing 3rd in ROY voting and an All Star in 1969, and also was an All Star in 1972. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their OPS+ wasn't all that bad but overall - pretty meh.

CentralChamps21 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Don't know why the hell Leury is batting 6th but other than that it's about the best lineup we can put out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Appling: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/applilu01.shtml Wilber Wood was only good for about 42 starts a year and maybe double headers. Couldn't really count on the guy too much. Wonder what his 71-72 stats would go for on today's market. The 71 squad made Chuck Tanner Manager Of The Year for a 23-game improvement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Wilbur Wood have to do with the Sox hitting? Sure, Tanner made a big improvement with posting a 79-83 season. Kudos to Chuck! I could bring up Appling's contributions as a coach on that team - but that's probably better left as a topic for the Hot Stove league.

But I absolutely hate the sleeveless "vests." I think they look trashy and scream early-2000s; the baseball uniform equivalent of boot-cut jeans, shiny shirts, and some kind of ridiculous yellow goggles perched on the forehead of a spiky-haired boy-bander. trust me we didn't even like the vests back in the early aughts. never looked any good.
