Randy Heflin in a uniform that I can't date. Heflin was in the Red Sox organization from 1939 through 1947, missing '43-'44 to service in the Navy and playing with the Sox in '45 and '46. The left sleeve patch does not appear to be, at least to my eye, the 1945 American Flag shield patch, nor does it appear to be a 1946 All Star game patch. Does anyone recognize the sleeve patch? (The player scan predates my keeping track of original poster credits, the All Star Game sleeve patch image (which doesn't look to me to be historical) comes from an Amazon offer, and the flag shield patch image comes from Discount Display Cases. Dressed to the Nines doesn't show a sleeve patch for the '46 uniform). Maybe it's a Ruptured Duck (image from Borchert Field) with the flag shield on his right sleeve?
