the al central for jackie

here are the teams of the american league central showing their jackie robinson anniversary patches.  keep in mind that in 1997, the brewers were still in the american league.

indians - 1998 topps orel hershiser
the indians only wore the patch at home.  on the road, they wore a patch recognizing the 1998 all-star game which was held at jacobs field.

white sox - 1997 donruss frank thomas dominators
like the indians and giants, the white sox only wore the patch at home.  away from comiskey, they wore a patch recognizing the anniversary of nellie fox's debut, which also occurred in 1947.  i'll post an example of that patch later this week.

brewers - 1998 topps jeromy burnitz
twins - 1998 pacific crown royale paul molitor diamond knights
royals - 1998 upper deck dean palmer
just two more divisions to go...
