Last fall, while waiting outside Wrigley Field to get in for the World Series, I saw a young gentleman wearing an Arismendy Alcantara jersey and thought, wow, what a colossal mistake this man has made.  I thought about starting a Tumblr/Twitter account to track poor jersey choices, but never really got around to it.  As this season has gotten underway, I’ve kept an eye out for instances of people who really should have put more thought in to their apparel purchases.

On the north side of town, it has been a total strikeout.  Seeing how everyone has renewed their jersey purchases with the World Series championship, there is just a sea of Rizzos, Bryants, and, of course, Rosses.  On the south side of town, I finally hit paydirt on Sunday, when I came across someone who was so enthralled by last year’s signing of broken down catcher Alex Avila, that he went out and bought the jersey.  A long lasting tribute to a one-season player who spent much of his time here on the disabled list.
