Episode #11: June 10, 2019
Our guest this week is Jerry Cohen, founder and owner of Ebbets Field Flannels, which produces authentic vintage baseball jerseys, caps, and other apparel. His work has been featured in Hollywood films such as 42 on Jackie Robinson and at major-league ballparks during “Turn Back the Clock” nights. The Seattle-based company, founded in 1988, was a pioneer in the reproduction of throwback jerseys. Their focus on Negro Leagues history and Pacific Coast League uniforms has helped to bring obscure baseball stories into the public eye.
