On the right shank is a relief of Riverfront Stadium with "The Big Red Machine" block lettered inside and a team logo below. Name "Veal" appears above. Left shank has relief of the World Series Trophy as presented to the winning team each year with "Reds 4, Red Sox 3" below. The interior band has been stamped "LGB 14K." Size 12.
