Bob Watson is watching you, John Gibbons. He knows you’re not wearing your league-mandated pajama top underneath that jacket. He also knows that you’re kind of a psycho, but the jersey thing is more important right now.
Look for a visit from him right in the middle of a game against your hated rival, in the middle of a pennant race. Wait, that doesn’t sound right … who do the Blue Jays hate? And exactly which pennant is being contested? Hmm … anyway, put your damn jersey on. Or at least match the jacket or something.
Other managerial hijinks from Friday night included Dave Trembley of the Orioles, who found a great place to stash his keys and wallet, and maybe even his cell phone. That’s a 10-gallon 5950 right there, kids. — Bryan
Bryan,
You can’t be totally sure Gibbons isn’t wearing the jersey – look at the pitcher. That uni-top v-neck is low enough that Gibbons could be wearing his jersey underneath the jacket.
He still might be getting a visit from the uni-police though. Maybe that’s why Paul took a extra day this holiday weekend…
I hope they get him a damn jacket, at least.
Check out this Cardinals photo: it looks as if link. Of course there’s a fold in Franklin’s jersey, but I still did a double-take.
Can’t Bo Jackson get link?
[quote comment=”272768″]Can’t Bo Jackson get link?[/quote]
Two possible theories:
1. Bo isn’t hip enough to wear his old number.
2. Based on the size of the jerseys, maybe #72 is in reference to William Perry, not Pudge.
Franklin is listed as #31 on the Cardinals’ website.
I was at that Sox game (unfortunately to watch my Tribe get killed again). It was Carlton Fisk Night and Bo and Ron Kittle both wore Fisk jerseys as they escorted Pudge on to the field. Fisk wore the red/white/blue stripe with SOX and Bo and Kittle both wore the more modern black pinstripe.
Apparently Fisk had lost touch with the organization and they are now bringing him back as some community ambassador or something like that.
i’d lose touch with him too. he’s in hof with a red sox hat on. as an a’s fan, a little sensitive ’bout that. reggie in as a yankee and catfish in as a generic.
A’s guy: There’s a difference between Fisk and those guys. Catfish and Reggie bolted from Oakland, whereas Fisk is a New Hampshire guy who came up with Boston and is a BoSock at heart. Yes, he ended up playing more years in Chicago, but was there any question as to what hat he’d wear in the Hall?
The sole lasting image of Fisk is in the WS, waving the home run around the pole. Living in Cincinnati at the time, I remember sitting in the kitchen watching that, quite well. So while he spent a lot of time in Chicago, Fisk is a Red Sox icon.

no, the players choose which team they go in with
I agree with comment #1. Both the pitcher and Gibbons have that little grey V and it’s possible he’s wearing his jersey with as low of a V cut those jerseys have.

Not anymore after the Wade Boggs fiasco where Boggs reportedly as part of his contract with Tampa Bay said he’d be inducted as a Ray. Hall of Fame rejected that and instituted the new rule that they’d pick.
from hof – “”The choice of which team’s logo appears on a player’s plaque is the Museum’s decision, though we always consider the wishes of an inductee. the logo selection is based on where that player makes his most indelible mark.””
mostly non-issue. recent exceptions that come to mind: gossage, sutter, winfield, fisk, sparky anderson, nolan ryan, reggie, catfish. of these, imho, a strong case could be made for: fisk as a white soxer, sparky a tiger, ryan an angel or an astro but definitely not a ranger, reggie and catfish a’s.
With player movement these days, how long do you think it will be before the HOF comes up with a sponsored cap?
Good for MLB for making a stink about managers not wearing the uniform top for all to see. They should make more of a stink. It’s a UNIFORM, it’s supposed to be UNIFORM. A manager and a pitching coach make regular appearances on a field on a regular basis. Their uniforms should look the same as the players. If you wear a smock because you’re too lazy or fat to tuck in your outerware (John Gibbons, Larry Rothschild, etc.), try a little exercise and drop a few pounds. I understand Terry Francona and his circulation issues, but what’s Mike Scioscia’s excuse, other than being too fat to tuck in a shirt.
NCAA Lax Final Four today
A few notes:
Syracuse vs. Virginia
1. Syracuse is ALL Orange…It’s way TOO much
2. No piping whatsoever on jerseys or shorts
3. Same number font as the Hoops SOD unis
4. Back Numbers are HUGE
5. Cuse is wearing helmets made by Nike
6. UVA nameplates are rectangular but cover up shoulder piping as well as the tops of their numbers…bush league
Second game will be Duke vs. Johns Hopkins
I’m sure there will be interesting points!

Syracuse’s helmets are actually made by Cascade but because Nike has a contract with Syracuse, they put their stickers on the helmet.

I’m a huge fan of the color orange but without piping ala the UVA gear, I find the Cuse kits boring!
I loved when the Mike Powell era Orange wore white helmets throughout the entire season and then broke out entirely brand new orange based designs for the Final Four complete with the beveled SU logo and orange helmets.
The three Nike schools in the Lax Final Four:
UVA, Cuse, and Hopkins are all wearing the same cleats which seem to be cleated versions of the Nike Huarache 2K7.
The fourth school, Duke, is outfitted by Nike in almost all other sports except Lax, where thw traditional Lax company Warrior, makes their uniforms and supplies them cleats.
However, at least half of the Dookies are wearing a darker blue version of those Nike Huarache 2K7’s, their star player Matt Danowski included.
Interestingly enough, last year, when the Duke team was reinstated, they wore Warrior uniforms with New Balance cleats, except for thir star, and coincidentally the son of the head coach John Danowski. He instead wore a cleated pair of the Nike Zoom Vick IV. Ironic, just a bit!
Watching the Braves vs. D’backs on FOX and noticed Orlando Hudson doesn’t close the velcro flap on his batting gloves. Quick search of images on Google showed the same on other occasions.
Considering how much most MLB’ers adjust their between pitches, find it curious he doesn’t even close his.

Jordan, my guess is that they are school exclusive versions of cleated Huarache 2k7’s!
-John Gibbons’ mismatched throwback uniform and current jacket combo is really irking me today for some reason. I would think that they’d (Majestic/MLB) want to make it a complete package.
-The Trombley photo screams for Photoshop fun, or at least a caption contest.
I love when people assert sh** that just isn’t true.

Wow, that jacket looks terrible with the old-school jersey and hat.
I came across link of Alfonso Soriano in the June 2008 issue of Conde Nast Portfolio magazine.
What caught my eye was the big circle-R under the logo on the jersey. I’ve never seen this on any on-field Mariners gear I own, and I took a look around MLB’s online shop and didn’t see any other jerseys with the (R) attached to the team’s logo.
This isn’t on any hats I’ve ever seen, including the Cubs…so I’m curious why the (R) is on the jersey?
I know that in artwork, the logo marks often make an appearance, but is this a unique instance in jerseys?
i hate the regular 5950 hats – they are so goddamn big. 10-gallon isn’t even close, more like 20-gallon. i always have to order the low-profile ones off the new era site… do baseball players have such large heads that they need a gigantic rectangle on their forehead?

That’s only an issue with the Cubs because technically, the big red C belongs to the Chicago Athletic Club; the Cubs have permission to use their C logo and place the UBS inside of it. Mr. Lukas wrote about it once in the early days. (In the Village Voice days?)

After reading this I got the urge to check my Islanders jerseys since I know I’ve seen the logo brandished with the (R) on my banners. All three jerseys are (R)-free, except for my Bridgeport Sound Tigers jersey, which sports an Isles logo on the left shoulder, and it has the (R).
Any clue as to why the “Registered” mark would be used on one jersey but not another?

[quote comment=”272771″]Apparently Fisk had lost touch with the organization[/quote]That’s putting it mildly. 6 days after Fisk set the games caught record, the Sox released him – on the road, and then wouldn’t let him in the clubhouse when he tried to wish his friends on the team well during the playoffs. Fisk wanted nothing to with Reinsdorf & Co. after that, and rebuilding this bridge was long overdue. Fisk, while most certainly better-known as a member of the Red Sox, still ranks as one of the most popular White Sox players of all time.

I believe it would be because the New York Islanders own the rights to that logo. So when they allow the Sound Tigers to use it, they have to put the “R”. Well I don’t think you have to put the R, I’d be surprised if it was on EVERY minor league jersey (most sport their parent club’s crest on their shoulder).
Not really contributing anything here, but that info about the Cubs logo makes an all time classic logo even more classic. Not a ton of teams have a logo that borrows from some other organization within their home.

The Islanders have majority ownership of the Sound Tigers, so do the ‘Tigers still have to pay royalty fees to have the parent club?
