Ebbets Field Flannels Kansas City Monarchs 1945 Road Jersey

History:  Can you imagine a team with both Satchel Paige and Jackie Robinson? For one brief year in 1945, the Grand Old Man of the Negro leagues and the young future pioneer were teammates in Kansas City. The Monarchs' road uniforms in 1945 had a different color scheme (navy and gold instead of the traditional red and navy) and differing roster numbers than the home uniforms, with Satch wearing #0 on the road while Robinson wore #23.

History: The Mission club of San Francisco moved south in 1938 and became the second incarnation of the Hollywood Stars (the original Twinks moved to San Diego in 1936.) The club was aptly named as celebrity stockholders included Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby and Barbara Stanwyck.
