ESPN: Lukas: Unis and the Midsummer Classic

1979: Reggie Jackson forgets to bring his Yankees uniform to Seattle. It eventually arrives in time for the All-Star Game but not in time for the American League team portrait, so Jackson ends up wearing a numberless Mariners uni (plus Rangers skipper Pat Corrales, seated in front of Reggie, wears a Cubs cap). Unbeknownst to Jackson, there’s an extra Yankees uni floating around the stadium that he could have worn for the portrait: It’s being worn by serial imposter Barry Bremen, who dons a Yankees uniform and shags flies for about half an hour before the game until Tommy Lasorda spots him and has him ejected. (Further details on this are available here, and additional info on Bremen’s other high jinks are here and here.)

Thanks to the ever dapper Shysterball.
