History: Owned by Effa Manley––the first woman inducted into Cooperstown––and led by star outfielder Larry Doby, the '46 Eagles won the Negro World Series, defeating the Kansas City Monarchs in seven games.

History: Scouts were skeptical of the bespectacled younger DiMaggio's potential, but he proved them all wrong by batting.361 for the Seals in 1939 and becoming the PCL's Most Valuable Player. His contract was purchased by the Red Sox the following season. Dom's #1 on back. Baseball Centennial patch on sleeve.

History: Joe DiMaggio's career with the New York Yankees almost didn't happen. After a stellar rookie season with the Seals in 1933 (including a 61-game hitting streak), Joe tore the ligaments in his knee while getting out of a jitney in 1934, and it took the persuasion of Yankee scout Bill Essick to keep the Bombers interested in him. DiMaggio returned to the Seals for one more season in 1935 and hit.398. He also led the league in RBIs and triples, and was named the PCL's MVP.
