I’ve been collecting throwback Indians jerseys for almost 30 years, and I’ve learned a lot about the best options for getting jerseys that most closely resemble the originals.
It’s not the cheapest hobby in the world when you do it this way, but if you’re so inclined, it can be a lot of fun.
I started buying throwbacks to honor the players of my dad’s childhood; he was a teenager during the ‘50s, and saw the great teams of Larry Doby, Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, Bobby Avila and his favorite player, Luke Easter. He continued to be a big fan throughout the 1960s and ‘70s.
