Only if you are a size S or a XXL. Who in the firetruck posts a logo/ad with no freakinâ stock and only 1 store in the US?
I assumed they were up and running somewhere because they paid something like $15 million dollars for this. Is this some sort of Kickstarter campaign? Drum up interest before even making a product?
I'm also having some issues processing the fact that there's a clothing manufacturer named Strauss when we already have a fairly well known one called Levi Strauss.
edit
Mr Strauss says his company has a "legally binding" agreement that allows them to use the name in the US but I lol'd at that because Levi's doesn't just let their TM go like that. So there must be a royalties deal. I wouldn't be surprised if Levi's is subsidizing the move/bringing them in to compete with Carhartt.
Yeah, those are annoying. They're like football helmet logos, almost as large, and they're on both sides. I guess the small logo on the back of the helmet wasn't noticeable enough.
Wait! What?! Whoa! Ueker is still alive? I thought he passed some years ago. Wow! I photographed his brass plaque when I visited the Brewers vs Cubs 5 years ago.

Like he's reading the owner's manual to a lawnmower.

Just to be clear... I think they should have probably let him in when he was alive. He made it soooo hard to do, because he was an ass.
My sarcasm about "now he can go in" was based on Giamatti's "ban for life". Any sense of vengeance or victory on the part of MLB should be avoided at all costs. Everyone is a loser in this discussion, including everyone who has ever visited Cooperstown.
I wouldn't do anything for a few years now... but eventually, he should go in and his family should get a bit of satisfaction that one of the all-time greats has been recognized as such. A weak, selfish, arrogant man...but one of the best to ever play.
I always suspected that Giamatti's "lifetime ban" may have been meant to be taken literally. Of course, Giamatti died eight days after that ruling, at age 51, so it may remain unknown.
I like your idea in the other thread; ban him for life and put him in after he is dead so he doesn't get to enjoy it, but the stats and the history of the ban are there for all to see. That ought to dissuade others from following his lousy example. He lost me when he beat on Bud Harrelson so I didn't feel sorry for the big goon missing out.

He's a jerk, a liar, a scumbag, and whatever else people want to say about him... but how do you tell the story of a 150-year-old game that LOVES statistics without him?
You can ignore the 17-time All-Star, winning three batting titles, the MVP, and the World Series MVP, but the categories in which he is an all-time leader ARE the basic fabric of the game.
He is the ALL-TIME leader in hits, games played, at-bats, and singles. He is second all-time in runs and doubles. He's 4th in total bases, 5th in RBIs, and 6th in walks. He is a part of every offensive category that matters (outside of home runs).
Finally, he is excluded for behaviors that baseball now markets. FanDuel is the official betting partner of the league that won't let Pete in their building. I know "it's different", but it just wreaks of hypocrisy.

I agree with you 100% that he was a horrible human being in real life, but we need to separate the players from the men. There are a lot of inductees that have questionable standards and the first one that comes to mind is Ty Cobb as he was considered a real nasty SOB on and off the field. But that not here or now and as a player who put it all on the field without cheating as a player should be recognized for those achievements. He really should have come clean right off the bat and say he had a gambling problem which is a medical condition and would have allowed him to get inducted.
Besides OJ is still in the FHOF and he was âallegedly a murderâ wink wink nudge nudge. But then again thatâs football for you.
Pete Rose is a fantastic bar argument.
