Well, I'm 'Touched'

I am baseball purist.

I don't like red Yankees' caps. Just like I don't like navy and white pinstriped Red Sox caps. Seriously, the red Yankees' caps are atrocious. And, not because I feel red is the sacred color, but rather, a true fan would never, ever, wear the color or style of their most hated rival. Seriously, that is just wrong and makes no sense. I don't like alternate jerseys either. Most of them are hideous and for a purist, there is nothing like the tradition of the ole' dress whites for home and grays for away.

So, naturally, I am not a big fan of almost all of the sport apparel out there on the market, with exception of the vintage reissues, like Mitchell & Ness, and Moonlight Graham.

However, I am also a realist, so when I saw today that Alyssa Milano was creating a special line of personal baseball fan attire for women, I yelled "swing!" because first of all, unlike many of the A-list posers we saw hanging out at Fenway in the summer of 2005, she is a real baseball fan...so much that she dates the players¹. So, naturally, it is important to her to look...um...'charming' at the ballpark (sorry, but you knew it was coming.)

But let's get down to it - most women's sports fan apparel is pretty bad and if when I go to a ball game and see the stands packed with beautiful young women (as I do at most parks) I would much rather have their attire inspired by Alyssa Milano than Bug Selig. I know you're with me...

As my friend Kurtsnogle says, "...view...larger...image...please." Click away, my good man.

Post note: Alyssa has actually started an MLB blog. You can read about her escapades here: http://alyssa.mlblogs.com/alyssa/

1. She is known to have dated Brad Penny, Barry Zito and Carl "I've Fallen and I can't get up" Pavano and his $40M bruised butt cheek. She seems to like a man with ball control.
