Around SBN: NFL Roundtable: Which Draft Pick Is Most Likely To Bust?

Jerseys At The Ballpark

by David A. Arnott on Jun 13, 2007 6:10 PM PDT

Went to the game today with my brother on a spur of the moment "what the hell, I guess we can go since we're both off work today" impulse. Was told at the window there were zero bleacher tix available. Bought upper deck outfield tix, moved to the 3B line by the 2nd inning, and got pissed 'cause there was plenty of bleacher space.

ANYWAY... My question for the crowd is inspired by a gentleman who was sitting in section 330-ish today, wearing a Francisco Liriano Twins jersey. I shook his hand and told him: "Well played." He and his buddies told me, as I suspected, that I was the first person to acknowledge the jersey, and it made his day.

Which jersey do you least want to see at our ballpark? I'm gonna go with a Lasorda jersey. Lots of jerseys would annoy me, but Lasorda is genuinely despicable.

Re: Jerseys At The Ballpark

At game six of the Warriors v. Mavs series I saw a dude with a Jiri Welsch jersey on. Jiri Welsch played 37 games for the Warriors 4 seasons ago in which he averaged 1.6 PPG. It was his only season with the team and I don't believe he's still in the league. That's kinda like the equivalent of someone wearing a Marcus Jensen jersey to a Giants game.

If you root for the Dodgers, the terrorists have already won.

Re: Jerseys At The Ballpark

This sort of thing is rampant among Sharks fans, for whom life is a series of player-used equipment sales and "win a player's game-worn jersey" contests. If you look around in the stands over the course of a season, you'll pretty much see a jersey from every player who ever showed up at a Sharks training camp.

You can take any Giants jersey into the Dugout Store and get it sent out for stitching, takes a few weeks and costs $50 or so. But they can do it.

But I don't wear them to a Padres game.

Re: Red Sox

I went to UCLA, and although we had a lot of smart people there, we apparently couldn't come up with an original logo for our baseball team's hat. So we ripped of the Red Sox.

Other than the color of the "B" on the front, (it's gold instead of red), it looks just like a BoSox hat. So when I wear it I get tools coming up to me asking if I'm from Boston, or asking how the Sox are doing or trying to high-five or something.

Re: Jerseys At The Ballpark

Last year I attended a game in one of the Oracle luxury suites, the second game of the Pirates series. SF had won the night before, with help from some shoddy play by the Pirates in the 9th.

Riding the CalTrain before the game, there was a Pirates fan on board, all decked out and everything. Someone exclaimed "Pirates suck!", and this guy sheepishly said "I know."

Well, as you may recall, Pittsburgh won that game - and all remaining games against SF that year. So somewhere, somehow, that poor guy got the last laugh.

The mascot for Pittsburg High School (small town, far East Bay, practically in the desert that is the valley) is a Pirate. If I recall, their baseball team's cap logo is the same as the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Not only that, I'd imagine people from Pittsburg will buy that hat as it is kind of novelty-ish.

Re: Jerseys At The Ballpark

Yep. I went to Antioch High, and we were huge rivals with Pitt. Their colors are black and orange. In 97 I wore black and orange nail polish for the Giants' playoff run and I got tons of dirty looks from the other band nerds.

Antioch's football jerseys resemble the late 90s Steelers' jerseys. I had a Yancey Thigpen jersey (remember him) that I wore to pep rallies.

I went to a high school that also had football uni's that closely resembled those of the Steelers. It seems like it made fans out of kids who weren't Steeler fans - hard to do in Idaho.

The long-time principal was a die-hard Steeler fan from PA, which explains the retardedness.

I don't see the problem here. Say I'm going to a Yankees-Orioles game. I want to wear a ballcap, but I'm not a fan of either team. Why can't I wear a Giants hat? It's kind of a "Hey, I'm a baseball fan, here's the team I like" type of thing. It's not like I'm acting as though the Giants are playing.

Likewise, you could probably do the same for Mike Stanton and the Yankees.

My buddy and I grew up watching the 80's Giants, and so we have a love-hate relationship with Johnnie LeMaster. He even went so far as to buy an ex-Ron Wotus home jersey at the Fan Fest, and now he gets questions like, "So, you're a big Dave Roberts fan?" (He's waiting to put "LeMaster" or "Boo" on the back).

In fact, on days when we have a game to see, I'll often greet him with a very loud, "JOHNNIE LEE!!!" which gets a couple of chuckles, usually from people over 40 who get the joke.

On the subject of wearing Giants gear to games in which the Giants aren't playing, I wore my Giants cap and shirt to an Angels/Marlins game in Los Angeles Angels Stadium of Anaheim in Orange County, California. While standing in line, an older gentleman walked up to me and said, "Y'know, yer wearing the wrong cap there, son. Why doncha go over there an' buy yerself a cap?" I politely declined, while secretly thinking of sharp objects to poke into his skin. I wish Giants stuff at the park was as cheap the Angels stuff though.

So he changes his number!! A few years ago there was a perv child molester in the area and he was spotted running from a local McDonald's after trying to meet with an underage girl. What did the police report he was wearing?? An Edgardo Alfonzo jersey!! After hiding my jersey, ( I considered burning it) I read another story on the perv and as it turned out it was an Edgardo Alfonzo MET jersey!! Glad I didn't destroy it, but the way he played with the Giants, maybe I should have.

I think it is fine to wear a cap to a game where your team isn't playing. But I think wearing a jersey is a bit much. I mean, the cap might be your only/fave cap, but you could go ahead and wear any old t-shirt. Doing the combo hat and jersey is a bit overboard.

Slightly off topic

When Boston came to SF a few years back, I saw a Boston jersey with the number 666 on the back with the name Steinbrenner. That and the OJ simpson throwback with the name Guilty on the back are my two favorite mocking jerseys seen at a park.

I come from a family of Giants fans, so I'm a giants fan. He said, if your family were morons would you be one too? No, because morons are Dodger fans.

Re: Slightly off topic

Those are both awesome, especially the OJ one.

Klesko's numbers just keep going up! (.318/.405/.488 as of 6/14/07)

Re: Jerseys At The Ballpark

I went to a Game last year and saw a guy wearing worn beat up Shinjo Jersey T-Shirt. It was pretty hilarious.
