Repost: "I Still Call It The Jake" T-shirts

Reposting this today because @FB_Outsiders twitter alerted me to 50% sale by entering the code "2004" for their 5-year anniversary.

Editing to add that I stand nothing to benefit from this, as I don't want it to appear as that I'm spamming for my own good.

Who really has prideful nostalgia for the late ’90s, when the Indians were super-trendy? Anyone who visited Cleveland could wear this shirt.

You want some real Cleveland sports pride? Wear a shirt that says I MISS THE OLD URINAL TROUGHS.

Ah yes, I once got lost in there at the age of 6. Dad stopped to watch a homerun, I kept on walking. One minute later, all alone. 30 minutes later I had found my seat and waited for my dad to come back. He was both relieved and angry. Ah, the memories.

Chugga-chugga chugga-chugga, Choo Choo!

Shirt should read “I STILL CALL IT THE JAKE…” on the front with “…WHERE A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THERE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THE BIG YELLOW POLES WERE” on the back.

I have one of those Urinal Trough t-shirts. I got it at Pirate’s Cove.

Well, I was mistaken. My t-shirt says: I MISS THE OLD URINALS, THOUGH

I didn’t even know there was a T-shirt about this, I was just making it up.

That version is pretty good.

You’re so gullible.

I’m guilty only of believing that someone was cool enough to sell that T-shirt.

Or any t-shirt with the word urinal on it.

“I still call it ‘The Jake’ … despite the fact that I was, like, ten when it opened, and also despite the fact that I really only referred to it as ‘The Ballpark’ when I still lived in the Cleveland area — where, at least in my part of town, calling it ‘The Jake’ immediately marked you as a know-nothing fan, if not as a complete outsider.”

Yeah, maybe T-shirt design isn’t my calling.

You’d need at least an XXL for that.

“But, let’s face it – I dislike the grim inevitability of selling naming rights to corporations, or the game’s saturation with sponsorship as is – ‘Bud Light Bleachers?’ – even if these added profits might contribute to improved FA signings or amateur draft over-slotting”
