[edit] Photo of Grote is not from 1969

That's a nice photo of Jerry Grote, but unlike what the caption reads, the photo is not from 1969. That photo is from later. I can easily tell the material of the uniform. The uniform that Grote's wearing in the photo is a double-knit uniform. The Mets didn't begin wearing double-knits until later than 1969, the Mets were still wearing the heavier uniforms. Also, in 1969, that was the one season that National League players wore the Major League Baseball logo on their right shoulder, and not the Mets circular logo. I'll wait a few days, and if nobody replies to this, I'm going to remove the "1969" in the photograph's caption.Slater79 02:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I removed the "1969" in the photograph's caption

I waited eleven days, and nobody replied to the thing that I wrote in the above paragraph. So I removed the "1969" in the caption under Grote's photo. It definitely was not a photo from 1969; see above. Slater79 07:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
