Stop being cheap, go buy a new one!

The replica jersey thread inspired this thread. I found this website that takes pictures of everyday people who wear Jersey's of players that are long gone. It was kind of funny, check it out and send the pictures to post.

I should wear my Thomas Randolph jersey to the city friday and see if anyone sends a pic of me

[Crippler]

I'm gonna fire up my digital camera as soon as I get home & give them some great fodder in old Giants jerseys.

However, I must come to the defense of the guy with the Tim Biakabutuka jersey...I would never throw that away for the humor value alone.

[spadanko]

i HAVE A RYAN LEAF CHARGERS JERSEY... GOTTA SEND IT IN.. MY BUDDY HAS ANDRE WADSWORTH

[bobsnin]

I still have my "Big Country" Bryant Reeves Vancouver Grizzles jersey. I need to break that out.

[Hottub]

Somewhere in the bowels of my wardrobe, I have an Atlanta Flames Jersey.

[badorties]

There's nothing wrong with that. That falls into the "Retro" guidelines.

Since I never throw away just about anything, I'm pretty sure I still own a Seattle Seahawks #55 Brian Bosworth jersey.

[Earlshog]

who the hell ever had an authur rodes jersey?

[ChrisTheCop]

Watching the game last night, there was a kid, about 22 years old, who was wearing a Mattingly 23 Jersey. I asked him, "ya like Mattingly lad?" he says yes. I said, "was he a lefty or righty?" he shook his head. Then I asked him, "what was his number?" The kid said "20 something"... IT WAS ON THE BACK OF HIS FAKE JERSEY and he still didnt know.

I told him to go get a Jeter jersey like everyone else.

My wife has an old school Dale Hunter Capitals jersey, but she only wears it bumming around the apartment.

Thats what I was thinking. Who the fuck would buy Al delgrecco's jersey. He was a kicker!

that is my favorite question when asking "new" yanks fans or people who think they are knowledgeable about baseball and or the yanks. The funny thing in they never know that he was a lefty.

Some old jersey's are fine. Like wearing a Mattingly jersey because he was a yankee for life and hes that type of player. I would never have a problem with someone wearing a Bonds SF Jersey, Marino football jersey, Emmitt Smith Cowboy jersey etc. Those players and many other "franchise" type players will always sell.

MY favorite question of all Yankee fans, especially girls who say theyre REAL Yankee fans is this: Who was manager just before Joe Torre? The response is usually along the lines of "....A-Rod for MVP!"

[reillyluck]

i still own the following Jerseys:

Rico Brogna- Ny Mets
Todd Hundley- Ny Mets
Dan Marino- Miami Dolphins


But...I dont wear them...Just cant get rid of them.

or Buck Showalter........whatever they say first.

i love how it's yankees fans that never know anything about their team. im sure everyone who has ever put on a Red Sox jersey knows every stat about every player that ever wore a Sox uniform. theyre just so much smarter and such better baseball fans.

well, I never said we were smarter, but if thats your stance, thanx.

But you have to admit, the Yankees have more "bandwagon" fans than any other team, simply because they have more championships, and people want to route for a winner. And no, bandwagon fans, in general, do not know baseball.

thank you

[ChrisTheCop]

shouldnt you two be in that other thread, watching your team fall apart?

lal.

but yeah, way to throw my own point against me. i'll accept it, but at the same time, you have to know there are more Yankee fans world wide than Red Sox fans (and therefore more bandwagonners).

You gotta take the good with the bad. Just cause YOU may be a good fan, doesnt mean your neighbor is. Dont take it so personal.... "it's science".

[Fallon]

I paid almost $200 for my Boyes jersey last year (Bruins traded him a month later).

I WILL WEAR IT UNTIL I GET MY MONEYS WORTH!!!

I think people are ruthlessly ridiculed for wearing old Keyshawn Johnson jerseys in four different cities.

Thomas Randolph NY Giants, I have an old Armstead and an old Kerry Collins. Also I still have a black Jordan bulls jersey, and a Marcus Robinson bears jersey

The only time pink stuff is acceptable is if a portion of the money from the hat is going to breast cancer research.

Unfortunately, it seems the only charities the Red sox are interested in are either ALS research or the Jimmy Fund.

I couldn't condone those jersey's when they were on the team.

I have Chris Drury jerseys from every fucking team he was on (including both Sabres jerseys) Now he is on the team I hate most. Still will were them in a pick up game

That's retarded.

[Tenbatsuzen]

No, not retarded. And not badmouthing. Just noticing there are other charities that should get more play than others.

[Bossanova]

I think he is saying how it would be nice if they threw some of the pink hat money at the breast cancer fund

[torker]

No, not retarded.
MQ?

[underdog]

No, not retarded. And not badmouthing. Just noticing there are other charities that should get more play than others.

I think every team has their own "charity", which is why the Jimmy Fund gets so much play. And of course ALS is because of Schilling. I would assume they put a lot of money towards other charities, as well.

Not to mention that MLB had a Breast Cancer Awareness day when everyone had those pink bats. That's a lot of play.

I think he is saying how it would be nice if they threw some of the pink hat money at the breast cancer fund

I personally think they should put some of the money from the pink hat sales towards Down Syndrome research.

[Tenbatsuzen]

no offense to anyone who has had breats cancer or has a family member with it (my cousin just had both removed)

There is more then enough charities that support and donate money to breast cancer. Cancer probably collects the most of all charities. Boston choosing to give their money to other charities shouldnt be questioned. Even if they give all to just one charity they dont need to give to others and trust me Susan G Kolman foundation is hurting for money.

Now with all the money these charities receive I would love to see it actually do something! My cousin had no insurance at the time of her surgery and you know what sh got from these cancer foundations? $50 to help her pay her bills. Thats nice!

Id rather pick a person and donate my money directly to people rather then give money to a charity and have it pay employees, organizers, the president of the charity etc. By the time the money gets where its suppose to be its gone. It also seems like the people who need it most never get it or get very little.

[underdog]

Well, if they cured that, Red Sox Nation wouldn't exist.

and yeah, yankee fans should talk about not spending too much money to be a fan!

speaking of that sign, I always thought it was a play on words, not that the nyc public school system taught yous guys about homonyms... but anyway, you know what they call a sell out crowd in Fenway?
a Johnny Damon crowd. Love that.

Are ya drunk?? None of that made any sense... Its one story to spend money in the stadium or buying team stuff.. Its another story being suckered into being in "Redsox Nation" And having to spend money just to say your a fan of your own team... Come you can't defend that.. Even one the biggest homers in sports journalism Trashed you guys for that.. Simmons.. And who's hating?? Its obvious that you have a hard on for the Yankees.. All you do is go into the Yankee threads and make "Witty" comments.. Or turn any sports thread into a "Witty" Yankee comment...

You say that, and then you provide a link to what THEY (not I) actually get for their money. More than just a card. When you buy a jersey for $100 all you get is the jersey. Besides, we're proud of our team; if the yankees were to start this up, theyd be sold out too. Its just a promotion...why the hate?

Thanx for the link though...I might get one of these next year.

I have to say the 100 199 isnt an awful deal.. You can sell those tix and get your money back plus the mlb package is pretty sweet.. But the 14 is just gay.. You get nothing for that..

You'd think the Yankees would make a bigger deal about ALS research for obvious reasons.

Unlike the Red Sox nation packages, proceeds from the Yankee Universe t-shirts go to a cancer research hospital, which I think is Sloan-Kettering, but I'm not sure.

That's just it. The Yankees donate a ton of money to various charities (and individuals) but there's not a big deal made of it.

That I know, but in Fenway there's Jimmy Fund stuff all over the place. I just always wondered why there wasn't something comparable in the Stadium for ALS research given that Lou Gehrig was its most famous victim. I would have thought that would be their most high profile charitable effort.

It's not. Because as tragic a condition that ALS is, it doesn't affect that many people to be a major organization's #1 charity.
