Paul Katcher’s “Your Baseball Jersey is Talking”
“Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Pittsburgh allows for two rare happenings: actual baseball talent in Pittsburgh and a chance for fans of different major league teams to congregate since they last saw each other at Tampa-area strip clubs during spring training. It’s the most touristy event on the baseball calendar, so you can expect to see fans from all parts of the U.S. and Canada adorned in baseball jerseys and assorted regalia.”
The above was an intro taste to what my fellow SportsbyBrooks contributor, Paul Katcher, has running on ESPN’s Page 2 in his article about what your baseball wardrobe says about you, as well as the multitudes of uniform wearers that will be in the crowd at tonight’s All-Star game.
I know ESPN is my enemy but today, we must embrace it. Be sure to stop by Page 2 and give PK’s “Your Baseball Jersey is Talking” a read. It’s good stuff.
*For you Yankee fans, don’t forget Paul’s NYY version - What Your Yankee Jersey Says About You. It’s a gem.*

It was a good read, too East-coast centric, but it’s ESPN. The only beef was the thing about steroids. He missed a gold mine as #25 is worn by most juicers. McGwire, Palmeiro, Bonds, and Jason Giambi.
That was pretty good. When Hornsby and I were looking for a third roommate, we interviewed this loser that showed up in a fucking Chad Cordero jersey.
“You from DC?” “No I’m from Chicago!” “How’d you get to be a Nationals fan?” “Nationals? They suck!” “But you’re wearin a Nationals jersey dude.” “No man this is all about Cordero. He’s lightin up my fantasy team!! Saves baby!”
We had to end it there.
Congrats to Paul, I’d have done this on his site but that damn registration crap annoys me
I thought it was a pretty good read.
Looks like he got the steroid guys, Adam.
“Steroid-Guy jerseys: Gotta feel for the Cardinals fans sporting a No. 25 McGWIRE or Orioles No. 25 PALMEIRO.”
Thanks for the hook-up. Tonight I’ll wrap up some of the awesome e-mails I’ve been getting from readers. Some really funny horror stories about regrettable purchases, hideous sightings at games and more gifts gone wrong.
Sorry about the registration, Matt. I used to get tons of comments under each post, then the spammers attacked (seriously, like five thousand comments in one day, and every day was annoying) and it was just the easiest solution. It bothers me every day.
True Goldie, and they all wore #25. I think Bill Simmons is the guy who wears all of the Boston 2004 stuff.
I can’t stand Bill Simmons but you can’t escape the bastard.
What was the point of Garner being a manager if he was gonna sit in the dugout and let the players “do what they do.” He should have put on some jeans and gotten a seat with the fans. What a jackass.
Agree with that Matt. The registration sucks. But this was a good read. I really enjoyed that.. made for good forwarding material too.
LOL that was great. I am a guy pushing 3 bills, so the fat-friendly jersey is necessary. I stick to the David Wells all the way. He’s currently rockin #16 so I am too!
