I found this shot of a late 20's (?) Giants jersey on the web. I believe it's from John McGraw's Hall of Fame exhibit at Cooperstown.

It's hard to believe it would have been actually worn by McGraw, but it's a stunning jersey.
Nice photo of the jersey.![]()

I would assume Mrs. McGraw had a similar prime location.
After 1957, it seemed like we would never laugh again. Of course, we did. Its just that we were never young again.
