I'd love to see the IronPigs throw back to this uniform combination. If the BlueClaws can throw back to the Piedmont Boll Weevils, the IronPigs can certainly throw back to the Portland Beavers.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-71684118789668491672015-08-28T16:47:41.665-04:002015-08-28T16:47:41.665-04:00I have never before seen that Portland Beavers log...I have never before seen that Portland Beavers logo. It looks like they only wore it in 1983, after which they switched to the Phillies P (instead of the upside-down Phillies P). Man, I would love to get one of those caps.

(Dallas Green did the same thing, on the same 1967 Reading team as Roberts, but his career as a pitcher wasn't as illustrious as Bahnsen's, let alone Roberts's.)Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.com
