What's Wrong With This Picture?


Ted Williams

What's wrong with this picture? Ted Williams joined the Senators after the end of the 1968 season. His first day in a Senators uniform was in Spring Training, 1969.

The Senators made a change in uniform in 1968, and again in 1969. In 1968, The team went from a blue hat and blue pinstripes to red hat and pinstripes, In 1969, the team kept the all red look but removed the pinstripes. So, why is Ted Williams wearing pinstripes in this 1969 Sport Magazine cover?

I have no idea. I assume that the new uniforms didn't arrive for the start of spring training, and the team was forced to wear the previous years for at least a little while. The problem with that, though, is that the uniform fits. In 1968, Frank Howard wore #9 -- he gave the number to Ted Williams when he joined the club and took #33 for himself. If this is last year's uniform, why isn't it huge, for a man 6'8" and not a man 6'2"??

I hope someone knows ...
