Weekly Hypothetical: pick one piece of memorabilia or equipment to complement a personalized jersey.
2012
In local baseball circles, we’re known as the place where creative personalized jerseys are both revered and mocked. It’s a love/hate relationship made of polyester.
Maybe it’s because Albert Pujols, the safe jersey play in St. Louis, fled for Anaheim. Maybe it’s because we give personalized jerseys an inordinate amount of attention. Maybe it’s a combination of the two, but one thing is certain: there have never been more personalized jerseys at Busch Stadium. Cardinal fans are really getting creative with stellar old school references and comedic jabs.
But it’s time to up the ante in this week’s Weekly Hypothetical…

Here goes…
As meatheads around you continue to deliver quality personalized jerseys, it’s time to stay ahead of the curve. Overachieve in underachieving, as it were. Along with any personalized jersey, you must wear a piece of memorabilia or equipment to complement your outfit; something that sends your jersey of choice over the top.
What are you going with to ensure that you truly have Busch Stadium’s best personalized ensemble?
We’ll read the top three answers on Episode 11 of The JoeSportsFan Show this week and give a JSF logo t-shirt to the lucky individual that scores top honors. You can throw your hat into the ring one of three ways:

Definitely have to go with a World Series trophy attached to the bottom of a Chris “Humpin” Duncan jersey. Nothing says “class” quite like a faux trophy hump.
a Dennys Reyes shirsey, a bucket of fried chicken, tacos, beer, ice cream, hot fudge sunday, and taking food from everyone around me in the stands.
It’s not *technically* a piece of equipment, but I’m going old school with a 1987 Jeffrey Leonard jersey and I’m walking around Busch Stadium the entire game with one flap down.
Juan Encarnacion jersey with an eye patch. Too soon?
Willie McGee #51 jersey with this E.T. mask.

You guys have mocked Mark Mulder Cardinal jerseys before, but what if I strolled into Busch Stadium wearing a Mulder jersey, with my entire left arm wrapped in ice packs? That’s gold.
A roll of duct tape in case I have to change my jersey at a moment’s notice
I’m going with a LA RUSSA #10 jersey and a pack of puppies. Oh, they won’t allow those in the park? Fine, I’m bringing a bottle of merlot. Oh, they won’t allow that either?
Fine, I’m going hardcore. I’m going to spend the next month weakening my immune system with the hopes of contracting shingles. Beat that.
A Mike Matheny and a hunting knife.
Although that may get me into trouble at the game. At the same time, I’ll be a little safer walking to my car downtown.
Tim Raines jersey and a vial of a white powdery substance. Slide into my seat headfirst.
Tom Henke #50 + these glasses:

Plus those lenses would turn any spot in Busch into primo seats.
Whoops, misread the rules, only one piece of equipment, so I shall update my answer. I would wear a Dizzy Dean jersey, then take one of the half baseballs that you put on the the rear windshields of cars and stick it to my forehead, a la his way to break up a double play in the 1934 World Series.
No doubt, Sabo jersey + Rec specs.
Colby Rasmus Jersey + Chili Dog
A Big Papi jersey with a stain on the front…the kind that once found its way onto a blue Gap dress in the late 1990s.
Steve Kline jersey with an autographed Steve Kline jock strap.
How about a Lenny Dykstra jersey with a steering wheel in and hand wearing hand cuffs.
I’d wear a Bo Hart jersey with a Scrappy Doo doll sewn on the shoulder (kind of like a parrot sitting on a pirates shoulder).
Will Clark jersey accompanied by the right/foot shin guard, some eye blacks,bud light beer hat, stirrup baseball socks, a leash with a Spud Mckenzie dog.
