1. JJ1986 Posted: April 05, 2012 at 09:00 PM (#4099059)The article says the top 20 jerseys come from 11 clubs (that includes Pence with both the Phillies/Astros, apparently). Yankees and Phillies had 4 each, Red Sox 3, Giants and Rangers 2 each.
Also: who wears jerseys? I'd wear a t-shirt, but people who wear authentic jerseys look idiotic.
Though not as idiotic as people who wear pre-1959 replica jerseys with names on the back, like this all-time classic groaner.
True. But I really think that short, fat and squat people wearing jerseys of people like Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier look absolutely ridiculous. It hangs down to their knees. At least Ruth had the same melon shape, even if he was tall.
Edit: Well, most of them.

Yeah, but in the Ruth case I was referring to the idiocy of the uniform itself.
Maybe what they should do about the problem you mention is to make replica jerseys only in the same size and length that the player wears himself. I'd go for that.
I think they're okay to wear at the ballpark (i.e., I sometimes wear one at the ballpark). Other than that I agree, at least if you're over college age.
I'm going to the home opener at Fenway next week and am wondering whose shirt to get this time. Aceves? Punto? Sweeney?
I went to a game in Fenway shortly after the Sox got Gagne, when he had was sporting a 15 ERA for them and had just blown a game the night before. I joked about getting a Gagne t-shirt jersey for cheap and we wondered if they'd even have them and if anyone at the game would actually wear one. Someone three rows in front of us did.
Saltalamacchia road jersey. Get the best value per letter you can.
Unless the weather calls for a sweatshirt, I generally prefer to wear a jersey. Normally, I try to stick with retired players - my Zambrano jersey probably needs a season or two in the closet before I'll bust it out again - but wearing a jersey is one thing I'll agreed with the slack-jawed yokels about.
Approximately eleventy billion females in the New York metro area have celebrated their 13th birthdays since 1996.
I have a number of circa 80s era Cub jerseys, but only my Ron Cey road uni has a name on the back... It is somewhat annoying when you get queried about the lack of a name (What? You didn't remember Paul Noce as #16?), but if you go classic/vintage, go all the way.
I think it's like how some Scientologists buy a copy of Dianetics every year in order to keep it on the best seller lists.
I always like to pick out the most obscure/most instantly regretted jersey that people are still doggedly wearing anyway when I go to sporting events. I believe at last year's Sports-Ref outing to a Red Sox/Phillies game the "winner" was some guy in a Shea Hillenbrand jersey.
Keep your voice down!
You're bringing problems Furtado doesn't need...
I own two T-Shirts: McGwire and Ichiro. What I really want to invest in is some shirts in this style.
I have a Bo Jackson one and it is awesome.
A good sports coat over a jersey shirt can look pretty spiffy.
Like this but with Bud Selig instead.
Hell, put this on a T-shirt and you have yourself a winner.
Years ago I saw someone wearing a Bagwell #5 jersey...that's a RED SOX Bagwell #5 jersey. I'm guessing he was not a Larry Andersen fan.
At the 2004 Sox' parade I saw someone wearing a Celtics #23 Jordan jersey.
That's great. Me? I continue to rock my Edgardo Alfonzo (most underrated Met ever) jersey. In the mid 2000's nobody ever commented on it, but in 2010-2011 a lot of people complimented it. I'd like to think it was the short lived popularity of Fonzie Forever that did it.
Unfortunately, being an idiot hasn't hurt Millar's broadcast career.
I've still got my Alfonso t-shirt and thankfully it's still in primo condition. In contrast, I buried the Glavine jersey deep inside the trash bag that I handed over to the Salvation Army drop-off crew, just in case.
At a Mariners game last year, I spotted a guy in an M's Brad Wilkerson jersey. In terms of performance for the team on the jersey, that's got to be a winner of something.
On casual Fridays, I usually throw on a sports jersey (football, hockey, baseball, rugby, cricket, soccer) over a t-shirt. It's a splash of colour, it's comfortable, and I like how they look.
I'm not sure why a jersey is "idiotic". It's just a colourful shirt to wear.
I don't think anyone wearing a jersey actually thinks they are an athlete.
I find hockey sweaters to be the absolute perfect fall and spring wear -- when it's too cool for a T-shirt, but too warm for a true sweatshirt -- they're absolutely perfect.
And no - I don't think anyone is going to mistake me for Tony Amonte or Alexander Mogilny.
I don't get the jersey rage either. Isn't it obvious that one would wear team colors to a ballgame? So what's the difference?
I agree, and yet... the one semi-authentic jersey I've always kinda wanted would be a Skittles-era (ca. 1980) Astros home jersey, #25, with the name CRUUUUUUZ across the back.
Yep. Six U's, at least.
