I didin't forget you guys; I was busy doing stuff. Just some hockey related business involving the television...
MLB Shop began selling their special "Turn Back the Clock" edition authentic jerseys on their online store. The popular baseball internet shop also released team jerseys with the scripts of different major league teams in Spanish! The Oakland Athletics, for example, are now the "Atléticos" ^_^ Don't believe me? Here is the pic!
What an opportunity to honour the Spanish language and heritage in the sport of baseball! How come they didn't do this when the Montreal Expos were around?
Let's be honest: The love affair with everything "Columbia Blue" officially ran its course in the 1980s. Sure, the return of the colour to the alternate home jerseys of the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays is to be expected, but along with the odd white trim running up the shoulders like Julia Roberts in "Runaway Bride", this looks ridiculous. Some things from the past should stay in the past!
On top of that, it says Brooklyn. Anyone younger than Justin Bieber wouldn't know why Brooklyn is on that jersey to begin with, unless that kid was me. Well, from years ago; before there was a Chapters, I went to the library, and I read about the Brooklyn Dodgers in an old baseball book. Yes, I remember a time before the internet: Everyone was friendlier then.
Have a great weekend, and watch some baseball.
