Kids, don't use dip. It will ruin your jersey

Picked up this game used jersey of Barry Jones. I know very few, if any, will know who this is so here is a little back story.

Jones played at IU from 1982-1984. He was drafted in the third round of the 1984 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

He played eight years in the majors. A couple of his accomplishments are he was the main set up man for Bobby Thigpen in 1990 when he set the then record for saves in a season. He also led the NL in appearances in 1991 (the year this jersey is from).

Card of him in this style of jersey

And a little back story for the thread title. Notice the tin in his back pocket in this picture.

Well, this is both gross, and fairly unique.

I wonder how hard it would be to photo match the jersey to a specific game.

You could get a DNA sample and clone him, haha

That's a really cool jersey. Do you ever browse or post on Game Used Universe?

I've tried. Not a lot of pictures on google for 1991 expos. Even tried youtube as they have some games, but haven't found anything yet.

shh, this is the start of my master plan.

Thank you. I am a member, but I don't browse there nearly enough.
