Jerseys....

A few years ago I started buying baseball jerseys for players that I really liked watching. The criteria I had was they had to be an established big league player that I would want my kid to watch play.

So I started with Cal Ripken....Greg Madduz.....Ichiro....Barry Bonds....Roger Clemens...WBC Japan Ichiro....Pedro Martinez. I realized that a lot of my jerseys are future hall of fame players....with the exception of Clemens. I noticed that I would buy the team jersey that I think the player will enter the hall of fame with.

I realized that as much of a Dodger fan that I am, there are no real Dodgers that I like that much. The only Dodger I really liked as a kid was Steve Garvey. Since then, I have liked a lot of Dodgers but none that I really wanted to see all the time. I was thinking about getting an Orel Herisher jersey. As much as I liked him, I always that he was a nerd. He was kinda like a moped. (Something you like to ride, but hope no one sees you riding it).

So, any Dodgers you like to watch??

In addition, I want an ARod jersey, but he is too good looking and I don't want people to think I am gay. I also am not sure if he will enter that hall of fame as a Yankee, Ranger or Mariner. These are my wardrobe dilemmas.

miles, i don't think anyone is going to think you're gay. maybe a big nerd, but we already think that.

Miles,

How about F. Valenzuela, N. Garciaparra, H. Nomo and of course Koufax?

jen-

stoopid, aya is a nerd. ask her about her blackberry and blue tooth.

tom-

ahhh, not bad. fernando, nomar, nomo and koufax. i like it, but here is why i won't buy them:

fernando - i never really liked. i loved him as a dodger but not my favorite player

nomo - the dude never spoke english. didn't like him. also applies to fernando.

nomar - he isn't going to be a hall of famer. fidgets to much. not a fundamental hitter.

koufax - never saw play on tv or in person. if i was to buy any dodger jersey for players not in my time, it would be jackie robinson. i am leaning towards a brooklyn robinson jersey.
