The Best Unofficial Baseball Shirts for Postseason Teams!

Posted on by

Last month’s look at unofficial and unlicensed baseball shirts was a big hit, even being picked up by SI.com’s Extra Mustard. So, since I’m never the type to quit while I’m ahead, I’ll do another. So, with the postseason starting tomorrow, here are the best unofficial and/or unlicensed (or, in extreme circumstances, just plain cool) t-shirts for those teams. Click the links to be brought to the stores that are selling them.

(Note: Some of these are not technically unofficial, but are rather licensed by individual players or the Hall of Fame. You’ll see, for example, a HOF Reggie Jackson shirt that conspicuously doesn’t have any Yankees logos on it.)

Breaking OOTP, Episode 3: The Seattle MARIOners

In BREAKING OOTP, I push Out Of The Park Baseball to its limits in various scenarios. Some will answer questions, some will settle scores, and some will push Out Of The Park Baseball to its very limits, to see if I can literally cause the game engine to beg for mercy.

The Seattle Mariners are owned by Nintendo. This is well known. The Seattle Mariners are also coming off a very disappointing season. This is also well known.

But what if the Mariners had had Nintendo’s own playing for them?

MVPs of the Weekend (Sept. 25, 26 and 27, 2015)

Friday’s MVP was Carlos Carrasco. Yes, he was facing the KC reserve squad, but it’s still extremely impressive to strike out 15, bring a no-hitter into the 7th inning, and finishing off with a complete game shutout.

Saturday’s MVP was Jarrett Parker, who had an awesome day at the plate, hitting 3 HRs (including a Grand Slam) and getting 7 RBIs in San Francisco’s win.

Sunday’s MVP was Jake Arrieta, who continues to be awesome, giving up just one hit and one HBP in seven innings of work.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST SONG OF OCTOBER FOR 2015

The postseason is full of traditions. And the use of songs again and again by MLB and it’s network affiliates are… one of them. However, we have yet to truly learn what shall be played this year so much that we make memes out of it and/or threaten to throttle somebody whenever we hear them.

And, while they haven’t made it official yet, we can now safely say that the National League side of things on TBS will be having the Zac Brown Band song “Heavy Is The Head” playing, at least if this promo video I found on YouTube is anything to go on:

I don’t like it. Not good enough to be good, nor bad enough to be meme-worthy. Of course, I’m sure after a few games my opinion will be changed based on how Twitter reacts to it.

And so, we now wait/worry on FOX, MLB Network, perhaps ESPN and MLB itself to see/hear what, if anything, they will be adding to the October Song repertoire. Rest assured, I’ll be updating the “Songs of October” database far earlier this year than I did last year.

The Best Unlicensed/Unofficial Baseball T-Shirts on the Internet

Posted on by

If you look hard enough online (as in… google “T-Shirts”), you can find sites that sell unlicensed and unofficial t-shirts. These T-shirts feature designs created by fans and basically only are allowed to exist because they are fairly small-scale operations- the equivalent of those random guys outside of a stadium- and no company is willing to sue them to oblivion because of the bad PR that would result from going after people who in essence are their biggest fans would be… bad. In addition, a lot (but certainly nowhere near all) of the t-shirts don’t technically break any laws and don’t actually use anything trademarked or copyrighted.

So, what type of stuff are we talking about? (go below the jump to see the rest of this)

Greinke won the showdown with Madison Bumgarner yesterday, holding the Giants to just one run (which didn’t happen until the 8th inning) in a important 2-1 Dodgers victory. He’s the MVP of Yesterday.
