I picked up MLB 10: The Show for the PS3 on Tuesday (saved a gift card from Christmas for that), and started playing. The Rangers lineup is surprisingly correct. However, they have several older uniforms in there, going back quite awhile. They don’t have the sleeveless one from within the last five years or so, though – I rather liked that one.
Anyway, Vlad is in the game with a totally tarred batting helmet which I found amusing. Check out this screen capture below (he doesn’t stand that way in the box, I caught it in mid practice swing). One thing about the uniform, though. It’s an older one, but it had a “4” on the armband. So whoever put the uniform together for the game for the Rangers team copied it from the year they wore a “4”. Anyone know offhand who that “4” was for, and what year that was? Thanks. You can click on the thumbnail below for a larger version.
That was a tribute during the 1977 season to the death of Rangers second baseman Danny Thompson, who died after the ’76 season of leukemia.
