This past January I went to TribeFest and saw that they already had Mike Napoli shirseys on sale, despite the fact he was “officially” signed just a few weeks prior. For some reason, I ended up buying one. Chalk it up to one too many drinks (Ellis Burks was bartending!) and a bizarre sense of excitement over our shared Italian heritage. When I got home I thought “this could really end up being a purchase I regret” but I started to wear it anyway. Clothes are clothes, and if I bought it, I might as well wear it. (Plus I still wear my Ronnie Belliard shirsey with pride…probably way too much pride).
So Close, Yet So Far Away
