Barry Zito: Male Model?

Overly expensive designer jeans are my weakness, and True Religion is my favorite brand.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this in their Fall 2008 email:  2756313297_19f962c8a4_o_medium

via farm4.static.flickr.com

 

and here, where he appears to be painted onto a wall.

 

LOL so, it appears our highest-paid pitcher has been supplementing his income by doing a little modeling.

my favorites?

I’m a big H&M fan, actually. Their Sliq and Drain cuts are great, and are great values.

For spendy jeans, I like Cheap Monday, Acne, Earnest Sewn, and Levi’s Capital E.

This only serves to prove that my pretty boy Giants calendar idea would work, and make money. If some clothing company will put expensive clothes on Zito and take pictures of him, the signficantly more attractive Giants would be even better in front of the camera.

I mean, stats BABIP Jose Castillo sucks look at Tim’s ERA+ Nick Noonan in Connecticut next year!

I saw him walk out of a hotel once in Pittsburgh and he was dressed magnificently. He was wearing some chappy-type pants with a skin tight orange t-shirt and boots. It was amazing.

Don Novello anecdote

When I was 12 or 13 I was at the Marin County Fair, hanging out with friends and riding the Barf-o-Tron thing with upside cages. At one point I was goofing around trying on sunglasses at a vendor’s booth, and I saw Novello standing next to me. He laughed at one particularly silly pair and said in his Father Guido accent, “Those glasses look-a really good on you.”

Hmm. I just realized 25 years later that was a little creepy.

I thought this was an ad...

Note that his name doesn’t appear in the ad above or on the Web site. In other words, they want his pretty face, but they don’t want his name (now synonymous with Huge Expensive Mistake) associated with the product.
