As a Cardinals fan, it will hurt to buy one, but I’ll at least buy a hat. Maybe I’ll wear it to Wrigley this summer. Oh, hell, I’ll get both and wear them to the Iowa Cubs. Michael Gartner owns them right now. If only to piss him off.
I forgot (or missed) that the Washington Bullets changed its team name to the Washington Wizzards around 15 years ago.
MLB provides a venue for working stiffs to watch billionaires argue with multimillionaires over money and to let its athletes so distance themselves from the rest of us that they actually sell their signatures to fans.
And its history is so corrupted that it is really impossible to even know its best home run hitter of all time.
But it feels the need to moralize us about the inherent evil and danger of seeing a Colt SAA on the front of a player jersey.
Like we would respect its opinion.
This reminds me of the indignation of the NCAA, which is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, about the fact that some of its teams actually are named after Amrican indians and tribes.
hey chris. people buy them fron people who went to the ballpark early or to spring training to get a FREE autograph. Hall of famers sell their autographs. Cause there’s a market and arthritis medicine can get pricey.

Well done astros fans and owner. I’m sure you will sell more jerseys this way also.
March 9th, 2012 at 3:31 pm

i hope the caps say “.45’s” too.

So it’s safe to assume that FOX will not carry those games?

They need to go back to these uniforms – sharp!

The jersey can be seen on the Astro’s MLB shop in a banner ad, but I couldn’t find where the shirt itself is for sale.
