ESPN.com’s Page 2 has an article up detailing what your store-bought baseball jersey that you wear says about you.

Yes, it was fine to wear them at one time. And yes, paying $120 for a jersey of your favorite player, only to see him get traded or signed away is a bona fide kick in the stomach. But until they’ve retired and the jerseys achieve full retro status, one shouldn’t dress like he’s got numbers of married ex-girlfriends still saved on his cell phone.
