A little while back, we looked at the mythical 1974 Fred Lynn card. Here's the version for his Gold Dust Twin, Jim Rice. I used a photo from the 1987 Kmart boxed-set card (see below), one of the few Rice pix out there with the pullover jersey and blue hat, which the Sox wore from 1972-74 and again in spring training '79. I dunno, I always thought it was a strange combo. I've always identified the pullover shirts with the red hats, and one without the other is just ... wrong.
| Much like pig and elephant DNA, red Red Sox hats and button-down jerseys just don't splice. |
