We live in a time when outrageously colorful sports uniforms have become more of the norm and not the exception. I would say Major League Baseball has remained more traditional than other sports, but even it has dabbled with uniforms that wouldn’t be considered traditional. In this issue of Sports Collectors Digest, freelancer Mike Shannon reviews the book, “Winning Ugly: A Visual History of the Most Bizarre Baseball Uniforms Ever Worn” by Todd Radom. While reviewing the book, Shannon shares examples of some of the “ugly” uniforms throughout the history of organized baseball that are discussed in the book. This article brought back memories, or should I say nightmares, of my high school days. I attended a small high school. My graduating class had 30-some students, so the entire high…

MOOKIE IS THE MAN — Is there a more well-rounded player in baseball than Mookie Betts? The Red Sox outfielder hit a robust .346 with 32 homers, 30 steals and 129 runs scored this season in leading Boston into the playoffs. And at age 26, he’s just entering his prime. The collector market has seemed a little behind the curve on Mookie memorabilia, but his clutch late-season hitting and first batting title (his .346 led all major leaguers) are putting him in demand. Examples of recent prices paid at eBay for Mookie items: • $8,200 on 26 bids for a 2014 Bowman Chrome Orange Refractor. Graded BGS 9.5. • $7,566 on 21 bids for a 2015 signed game-used 1975 throwback Red Sox jersey authenticated by MLB. • $4,550 on 36…
