Description: Up for your consideration is a 1983 Memphis Chicks home white jersey worn by Ken Weislak. It has his number and his name stitched on the back. It is a size 40 with a Wilson tag in the collar. The Chicks were a class AA farm team of the Montreal Expos. Although the jersey does not have a year stitched in, Weislak was on the team only that year. He was demoted later in the year and this was his last year in organized baseball. A few years later, Bo Jackson was a Chick! The Chicks were a farm club of the Montreal Expos from 1978 to 1983. The Expos had exceptional minor league talent and future All-Stars such as Tim Raines and Tim Wallach came through town in the late 1970’s. These were also the peak years of Chicks attendance, with over 300,000 fans coming through the turnstiles each summer. The club’s 1980 mark of 322,000 fans was the most for a Memphis team since 1948. The team’s moment in the national spotlight arrived in 1986 when the Royals signed Auburn’s Heisman Trophy winning running back Bo Jackson to a baseball contract. Jackson started his baseball career with the Chicks and landed the team on the cover of Sports Illustrated in July 1986.
