FiddySicks Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm still pissed they never paired that orange helmet with the white or orange jerseys. What a dumb idea it was pairing that with the black jersey. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

One of the most distinct looks in baseball. He's one of the few guys that can pull off a mustache like that without looking like total pedophile. It's a very short list.

You're right that Mattingly needs the mustache in order to be recognisable. But you're wrong to suggest that it's a short list of men who look good in a mustache. Having a mustache is the natural state for a man. While everyone's mustache cannot be as beautiful as mine, almost every man looks better with a mustache.

BBTV Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah - BEARD is literally the natural state. Mustache is a vain alteration to nature’s design. Of course so is being clean shaven, but whatever. Just busting balls. Tom Selleck and John Oats FTW.

SilverBullet1929 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 On 2/10/2018 at 11:49 AM, Ferdinand Cesarano said: To not have elected to wear those uniforms in games against the Rockies is a strange choice indeed. That would have been a nice touch but the Padres did exist in 93 so it's not awkward to do it against them especially if the Padres end up wearing throwbacks as well. A really strange choice would have been to do 1993 throwbacks against the Rays or Diamondbacks. Actually, thinking about the Padres vs Marlins in a "celebration of 1993" it would be a great weekend for them to honor Trevor Hoffman in some way.

Gothamite Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Do Marlins fans feel any special affinity or rivalry with the Rockies? I know they came into the league together, but that doesn't necessarily resonate. The Marlins could have dragged out the throwbacks against the Dodgers, their first opponents back in 1993 (the Padres were the second). The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The Marlins could have dragged out the throwbacks against the Dodgers, their first opponents back in 1993 (the Padres were the second). Yeah I'm kind of surprised the Marlins didn't choose to wear the throwbacks against the Dodgers; in 2013, the Rockies and Mets wore throwbacks to celebrate Opening Day '93 (even going so far as having the Rockies wear road uniforms at Coors Field, as their first game was at Shea in '93). No real rivalry or affinity between the Marlins and the Rockies, though. edit: I realize the Mets have a great home uniform, but the underline really looks good, IMO. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have always "kept an eye on" the Rockies because both teams started together but there is zero connection between the two as far as the fan bases are concerne whether it's as a rivalry or as some brotherly connection. Edit: The Rockies wore road throwbacks at home? That's both awesome and weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange, but does happen. In 2013 the Twins wore road St. Paul Saints throwbacks at Target Field. It was supposed to be a home-and-home series with the Brewers, but Milwaukee felt that they were doing too many events like that and decided not to host their half of it after all.

To be fair, Target Field is in Minneapolis. It kind of makes sense for the team to wear the road jersey of the St. Paul Saints while playing in Minneapolis. It’s still silly, but a little less silly when considering the nature of the Twin Cities and the historical Millers-Saints rivalry.

FiddySicks Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I used to go out and catch the first few Spring straining practices of the year when I lived in Arizona and every year they wore the previous years gear until just before the first game. Seems pretty normal to me. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
