Wrong number on Braun Jersey

by Saberilliterate on Mar 9, 2009 7:41 PM CDT Comment 13 comments

When I went to Miller Park to pick up some tickets today, I stopped in the pro shop and was going to buy a USA Braun Jersey... except that it had the wrong number. It had the number 8 on it and not Braun's WBC number of 18.

When the goof ball that worked there came by to see if he could help, I asked him if those Jerseys should be marked at half price (they were $150) since it had the wrong number on it. The guy looked at me like I was smoking crack. He told me that Brauns number is 8 and showed me a Brewer's jersey with #8 on it. So I grabbed a WBC Braun T-shirt with #18 on it and asked him which WBC item had the correct number... So I asked him which item was going to be half price since one of them was wrong - yes I am a cheap bastard.

The guy looks at me - he doesn't say anything - looks at his watch and tells me that the store closes @ 6 and that it was 6 oclock.

So if anyone wants a mistake jersey for $150 head on down to the Pro Shop at Miller park. But if you want one with the right number - you will have to order on line...

Sheesh!

How does someone work at a baseball store IN MILLER PARK and not actually follow what’s going on? What’s the point of even working there?

I might not know everything about baseball, but at least I follow it fairly well and I’d know little things like that. * tsk tsk tsk *

I've been trying to get a job there

Somehow, that guy got the job.

Wouldn't it be worth more with the wrong number?

Depends on who you're asking...

But regardless of worth, I think I’d rather have 8 than 18… It’s his real number… No one will remember he wore 18 a year or two from now… Especially when he does start wearing 8 in the next WBC (seniority).

Can't look it up, but I thought that the number eight was unused on the USA team

I don’t think seniority has anything to do with it, if I remember right.

Maybe you could say it was a really poorly mistaken Gabe Gross Jersey
