?? at Angels - ??1992
While Chuck Finley did pitch in the August 16 game the uniform on this 1993 UD card appears to be a White Home Uniform. I've yet to find any evidence of a Home game played in the 1968 throwbacks though. My assumption is there is some washout happening in this picture and the grey is being made to look white in the bright sun.

Angels at Athletics - August 16, 1992
August 16, 1992 - Angels at Athletics. Angels dress in their 1968 Grey Road Jersey, while the Athletics put on replicas of their 1968 Home Vest. This Athletics uniform is in my Top 15 all-time favorite throwbacks.
Notable Angels in this game are Gary Gaetti and Von Hayes. Much more notable on the Athletics are Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Terry Steinbach, Willie Wilson, Walt Weiss and Dennis Eckersley.
I'm assuming this Bryan Harvey photo from 1992 Upper Deck was some promotional shot for the game.

This appears to be the first game with no pictures of players in uniform on a card. I have not looked through the backs of all the cards on COMC though. If anyone is aware of a card with the throwbacks on there please let me know.
