Today (2010): Buy The Express "Baseball Jacket" Now. Do It.

Usually, we denote our regular morning post to a nugget of sports history that's embedded somewhere in the depths of Wikipedia. Not today, friends. Today, we're asking you to be a bit more proactive. Live in the now, dammit.

A stroll through a local mall yesterday revealed a new piece of male fashion at Express. Officially, it's called the "Nylon Baseball Jacket"....and since the official merchandise title includes the word "baseball", that means we can feature here. Sorry, Express.

Mixed with black trousers and a few whiffs of Axe Body Spray, one Express salesman informs me that I'll be beating off college trim with a stick. Fair enough. The price? $98.00. A steal, right?

But you can't fool me, brah. I've seen this look before, and it was in unfavorable circumstances.

Yes, sir.

For just a shade under $100, now you can dress like Warren.

Truth be told, I would have forked over straight cash if they named it the "Frank and Beans Jacket" or the "He Waz Mastabatin Wind Breaker".

For $15 less, I ordered a navy-and-red Cardinals Mitchell

Wow, in Connecticut the Express stores hide this stuff, as well as all the Express caps right next to it. It's really hard to find anything that resembles any outreach to "hick (or as they say the 'real') America" up here.For all I know, GM could be selling El Caminos but just not anywhere within 400 miles of the Tri-State Area.

"You can't say that here!" "It doesn't matter. No one's fuckin readin' anyway!" *So I took some peotic license there, sue me.

for $10 more, you can get a baby blue Cardinals starter Jacket at MLB.com. It's baby-freakin'-blue, just like Whitey wore!

They don't call him the best color man in the league for nothin'.

I wonder how much it would cost to get "WARREN" stitched on the back of that thing? That would be epic.

Awesome. I'm buying two. Maybe three. Have you seen my baseball?

Actually the first sentence of this article is a lie. A few days ago there was some crap on here about the Cubs in the snow and is was definately not a nugget of sports history embedded in the depths of Wikipedia. It was just a rehashed article you ran bc you were low on ideas that day and or possibly hung over
