Thanks ever so much to She-Ra, P.O.P. and Wonder Woman for the absolutely magnificent idea.
Click on the kitty to the left to visit the Batstore!
Dude! I am so getting one of those!
Y'know... *bats eyelashes* if you had a shirt that says "My boyfriend mouths off to umpires", I could buy one of each...
Posted by: CarrieICL at July 22, 2005 08:31 AMGreat idea, She-Ra and Wonder Woman! I think Carrie may be on to something too!
Posted by: ndtf at July 22, 2005 08:36 AMhmm... one that says I WISH my boyfriend would take Naked Batting Practice?!?!
Posted by: CapitalBabs at July 22, 2005 09:14 AMGreat Shirt Would love to sell in my baseball bat store - http://www.coachesdiscount.com
Posted by: Batting Coach at July 22, 2005 09:27 AMLove the idea. I was wondering why the Santana/Nathan shirts are ok, but the named boyfriend ones weren't?
Posted by: metsfan at July 22, 2005 09:27 AMSantana/Nathan COULD refer to anyone.
It's the first and last name that MLB has control of.
So, a shirt saying "Justin is my BF" is OK. "Justin Morneau is my BF" is not.
Unions...
Posted by: heraldguy at July 22, 2005 10:12 AMDear Mr. Guy,
Indeed.
I shall be making revised BF and NSMC t-shirts very soon.
Sincerely,
BG
Yippee! I thought I had totally missed my window of opportunity on the boyfriend shirts.
Thank you Batgirl.

Posted by: Mic at July 22, 2005 10:29 AMBG: Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Posted by: Katharriet at July 22, 2005 10:39 AMHow about some Gardy themed t-shirts?
"My manager does not want showtime!" or "My manager just wants showtime!"
He lets enough good stuff fly that you should be able to just launch a line of stuff with his quotes on it.

Posted by: Renae at July 22, 2005 06:47 PMIf I was some high-ranking muckety-muck at the MLB, I think I'd prance into the Twins clubhouse - a broad-lapelled, pinstriped suit, a silver tie, and gaudy, over-stated cufflinks - and hand Mays, Mullholland, and Crain - all three of them - Losses.
All three of them. Terrible.
Posted by: Haplo at July 22, 2005 10:18 PMCrain? That's a little harsh. Yeah, he did give up two walks but keep in mind that he didn't give up any runs.
BG, sorry for being off topic but I needed to point that out.
Posted by: olbiemn at July 22, 2005 11:00 PMI love Jesse Crain. I love him more than I loved Kyle Lohse last season after that three-game series v. the Royals where we CG shut-outted them. And that was a lot.
What I'm saying is, if you're Jesse Crain, and your ballclub needs you to come in and stanch the bleeding - slap a tournequet on it, 'cuz the limb's lost - you don't give up two walks. When the zeitgeist of Twins Territory is best symbolized by a ever-slower beating heart laying in the muck beneath a bowling alley urinal, and you're Jesse Crain, He of the Golden Arm, and you give up two walks... well... that's some honky-tonk.
I expect better of Jess'em.
