Uniform &
Team History: This famous Cuban baseball team
represented the port city of Cinfuegos, but played
its home games in Havana. Their symbol was the
elephant, and their slogan was, "The pace of the
elephant is slow, but crushing!" Luis Tiant, Sr.,
father of the former Red Sox great, starred for the
Elefantes. Uniform introduced to the Oldtime
Baseball Game in 2005.
Oldtime Game
History: Its bold colors having made it an instant favorite when it was added to The Game in 2005, it was first worn by Matt Nuzzo of Brown University. He was to have worn it in 2006, but had to bow out because Brown's football team, for which he also played, had begun training camp. The uniform thus went to a fellow Ivy Leaguer, Dan Neczypor of Columbia University. When both players wanted to wear the popular uniform in 2007, it was agreed that the winner of the season series between Brown and Columbia would earn rights to it. Brown won the series, and Nuzzo wore it in 2007. (Neczypor's consolation prize was the honor of wearing the Hollywood Stars uniform, which debuted in 2007.) |
