Large in part, most of the baseball hooligans we feature in the "Fan of the Week" column fall between the following two categories: men with absurd jerseys...and men with no jerseys and/or shirts at all.
Men. Men usually willing to display their *uniquely* personalized jersey - or, better yet, their *uniquely* personalized tattoos.
At the Cardinals Home Opener (well, sort of) in St. Louis...we saw something we've never seen before - a unique piece of personalized team gear on a woman. A few years ago, Major League Baseball unveiled their line of personalized jerseys for women - essentially youth jerseys with some pink colors littered throughout the team logo.
Well, we saw something new last night...
Our fan hunting research department is busy trying to discover the validity of the aforementioned memorabilia, and if it's MLB sanctioned.
If it is, kudos to the MLB for doing something revolutionary. And by "revolutionary", we mean "whorish". We love channeling Chris Rock and picturing the brass at MLB sitting around the corporate offices pondering, "We need something new...something that just says, 'nasty'. Ohhh ohhhh!!! I got it !!! What about pink, cut open, stripper tees with rhinestone lettering ????"
Yep, that's the ticket. Meeting adjourned.
Side Note: There's no official scoring system for charity concession workers, but if there was...we'd award 5 "shit-eating grin points" to the ole boy on the left.

The headline of Deadspin is amazing: "She Has Yadier's Ass and Bengie's Hips"

Pujols 5 has a vibrant hiney.
Anthony, April 1, 2008 01:04 PM
Homeboy on the left is phenomenal. Clearly the girl in red is talking because her head is leaned in and both his colleague on the right and Pink are looking at her. But not Mr. Left, no sir. His eyes are locked squarely on Pinky's Molinas. Awesome.

The best part is that the concession guys both think they have a shot. And that they both WANT a shot.

There is nothing at all wrong with this.
Mr. Irreelevant, April 1, 2008 08:04 AM
They probably have their NASCAR heels on
Doc Ock, April 1, 2008 07:04 AM
Idiots - thats an Alfred Molina jersey exhibited by the lovely lady with no brassiere.
Ryan, April 1, 2008 06:04 AM
Nice work - we'll have to keep an eye on this developing trend. "MLB clear heels" coming soon?
Sebek, April 1, 2008 04:04 AM
I can confirm that the front of the shirt has a Cardinals logo.
B.I., April 1, 2008 04:04 AM
Of course, the girl on the left is actually pretty smart, depending on if the front has a listed team or not. With as many Molina brothers as there are, she can root for the Cards, Giants, or Yankees pretty easily. If Izzy Molina comes back, she can root for him too.Molina's a fairly broad-based strategy. Altogether reasonable.
Mr. Irrelevant, April 1, 2008 04:04 AM
The chick in the oink Molina gear has a nice ass.
Jason, April 1, 2008 03:04 AM
Nice - can't wait until these babies reach some thinner, non-Midwest women.
Be, All that you can be ..., April 1, 2008 03:04 AM
... in the Air Force. Those fellas working the concessions must be on leave from the Air Force and are looking for a little "port in the storm", so to speak. The one on the left is most definitely standing at attention.
Higgins, April 1, 2008 03:04 AM
I say, old boy, it took me a moment...but I realized why the chap has that poo eating grin...the lass in the pink shirt appears to be eschewing the most basic of feminine garments-the brassiere. In any event, the lad is way too happy for some working concessions....
Concessions Manager, April 1, 2008 03:04 AM
Get back to work!
JB, April 1, 2008 01:04 AM
Nothing says "hard core baseball fan" like the rhinestone jersey with the Z107.7 sticker on the bottom like the chick on the right. Baseball and Rihanna songs played on a continuous loop - a match made in heaven.

It sort of freaked him, but Charlie Puleo couldn't help it. Mr. Met just sort of made him feel funny in his pants.
