JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - The Jamestown Jammers will wear throwback uniforms from the 1941 Jamestown Falcons in Friday night's game to honor the 70th anniversary of Russell E. Diethrick Jr. Park.
The Jammers will wear the replica uniforms and hats designed by Wilson and New Era for the game against the Aberdeen Ironbirds Friday. Then, the jerseys and hats will be auctioned off after the game with proceeds going to the Chautauqua County Sports Hall of Fame, which is also the night's sponsor.
The oldest surviving member of the original Falcons and former Major Leaguer John O'Neil will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the game.
