1941 Hollywood Stars Road Throwback Jersey With 4 from Ebbets Field Flannels

The Mission Club Of San Francisco Moved South In 1938, And Became The Second Incarnation Of The Hollywood Stars (The Original Twinks Moved To San Diego In 1936) After Sharing Wrigley Field With The Angels For One Season, The Stars Moved Into Their Brand New Home On Fairfax Avenue - Gilmore Field. The Club Was Aptly Named, As Celebrity Stockholders Included Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby And Barbara Stanwyck. Jerseys Quite simply, the real thing. Hand-crafted from genuine wool baseball flannel. Each shirt is researched, and carefully re-created using the same materials and production techniques as the original. Lettering on most models is wool felt. Some of the more expensive models (for example our 1938 Baltimore Orioles shirt) feature manual chain-stitch embroidery. The design is directly embroidered into the garment to produce a brilliant effect. Sleeve patches were another important component of vintage jerseys. They often celebrated local events like World's Fairs, or anniversaries like baseballs official centennial in 1939. During wartime, ballclubs would display patriotic shields, like the Stars & Stripes or Health patch. You will find all of these faithfully re-created here. Jersey Numbers Jersey prices include numerals, except where noted (most teams did not wear numbers prior to 1930.) We have chosen a standard number for all of our shirts, which is listed in the text for that model. Please note that many shirts are made to order, and take one to six weeks for delivery. All jerseys are crafted in the USA, using American materials. The Pacific Coast League Because of its geographic separation from the rest of organized baseball, and the temperate climate of most of its member cities, the Pacific Coast League (1904 - 1957) developed a brand of baseball all its own. Another factor that made this loop unique was that the Coast League teams remained largely independent of the Majors, with most players staying for many years. This stability allowed fans to feel like they knew the players personally. Many players were born and raised locally, and this helped created intense rivalries, like that between the Hollywood Stars and Los Angeles Angles. The Coast League's real aspiration was to become the third major league. In 1952, the PCL was granted Open classification for the purpose of evolving toward major league status. Of course, that dream died when the Dodgers and Giants moved West, robbing the PCL of their most lucrative markets, and re
