Uniform & Team History
The gold coloring on this uniform was to commemorate Connie Mack’s 50th (and last) season as manager of the Athletics.
Oldtime Game History
Mark Langone of Stonehill College, who wore this uniform in 2000, went on to play professional baseball in Italy, writing a blog about his experiences. Jack McGeary of Roxbury Latin High School was to have worn the uniform in 2007 and did, in fact, wear it on Media Day, but on the day of the game he signed with the Washington Nationals, who had selected him in the sixth round of the amateur draft.
