George Sisler played before jerseys had numbers or names
There were only two players that wore the number 10 jersey for the Atlanta Braves before Chipper Jones. The names of the two players are Chris Chambliss and Greg Olson.
I can understanding with shipping around the holidays how they could send out a wrong jersey, but this is ridiculous, they sent me the wrong jersey twice. I received a Pittsburg Polamalo Jersey with ironed on names, logo and numbers. The jersey I ordered should have the names, logo, and numbers sewn on and embroidered. By the way you have to pay the return shipping even when they screw up.

Baseball players aren't "given" names once they make it to the majors. Baseball rosters display players' legal names.
