Many of you will recall that, in April, I wrote a post titled "What Your Yankees Jersey Says About You." It was so well-received that it's been posted on MySpace blogs, circulated via chain e-mails and, at least once, blatantly ripped off by someone who re-wrote the lead to make it look like he created it.
It also caught the attention of a former colleague, now at ESPN.com, who commissioned a similar piece geared toward a more general baseball audience.
So, today I make my ESPN.com Page 2 debut with an article titled, "Your Jersey Is Talking." In it, I riff on the folks poor saps who sport jerseys of since-departed stars, the fans decked out in 12 logos who resemble Christmas trees, wild-card celebratory gear and the like.
Hope you enjoy it.

Congrats, Paul..
You forgot the 12 DVD Collectors set of Red Sox 2004 playoffs. Ahem, I watched the 9th inning of Game 4 just last night. Cough.
Sincerely,
