  2. Really cool. I feel like it should be flipped though, with Alfred on the front and "Bad deals" on the back. Either way . Put me down for XXL. :)

    1. Please note that the pictured configuration was based on Bitty's original, earlier description. That said - if flipped, Alfred E. N. would need to be approximately 50% larger.

    3. I like Doug's suggestion. I wonder if I should have some printed up?

  4. 13 Yes please. Let me know where to send the check. XXL. Final suggestion...

    My favorite baseball shirt is the Yo8i shirt from the Yogi Berra museum. The shirt credits the Yogi Berra Museum on the cuff of the short sleeve. It might be nice to do something with IIHIIFIIC in that spot. El Duque permitting.

    This is not a great image showing what I mean but it is visible...

  5. Are there copyright issues to address with the AEN image? I don’t suppose Mad magazine will hunt anyone down, especially given only a dozen or so will exist, but a t-shirt vendor might balk.

    1. I believe it is possible, especially if it's a cooperative thing with no profit involved. Let me look into it.

    2. I mined my AEN image from a source and modified it in a few ways including giving him Aaron Boone's eyes - so....so long as we keep it internal and don't offer it up for sale to the public we should be OK

  7. Another thought - if we morph AEN's face in Brian's, then it becomes a collage-type thing that's simply derivative. Either way, I'm not too worried about it. If this ever became a thing and got publicity, imagine how mortified Brian would be. And that would never happen, but I'm just saying...

  8. I don’t think it’ll be a problem - just wanted to make sure no one got burned. If the image is manipulated, it’s fair use as far as I know (not a lawyer - just a former publisher).

  9. I forgot they weren't playing at home, and figured it was all canceled with the torrential rains in the city. Then, I turn on the highlights.

    Um...Ramos drives in a run? Driving in Wells, who was on base. Wait, Wells was on base? Garcia homered?

    To quote the late, great Sammy Davis, Jr.: This is too weird, man.

  10. Six runs! Count 'em! Six!

    God bless the Orioles and the Twins, without whom we'd be in fourth place.
