The Puerto Rican League started as a
semi-pro circuit in 1938, luring Negro League greats like Satchel
Paige(Guayama), Josh Gibson(Santurce), and Leon Day(Aguadilla). The Cangrejeros shared Sizto
Stadium with rival San Juan. Santurce's powerful teams of the
1950's featured an outfield that included both Willie Mays and
Roberto Clemente(#21). 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

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. You may order a different
number at no extra charge, but it may slightly delay
your order. NOTE: If you would like
an alternate number , please write in the comments field
of the order form I would like alternate number
5 (five) (or whatever number you want) for item

using American materials. History of the Negro Leagues
During the first half of this century, a parallel world
existed in our National Pastime. This world was born
out of necessity, due to the bias and ignorance of
the times. It was brought into being because thousands
of African American men and boys were denied the dream
that was open to their white counterparts - the dream
of playing Major League baseball. The world they created
was replete with their own strugg
