Top 10: Worst Baseball Uniforms (10-6)

Baseball is America’s pastime and has brought a lot of memorable moments to sports’ history. With that being said part of those memories are the horrendous uniforms some teams used to wear to a handful that are still worn today. I do enjoy when the teams wear their throwback uniforms to show how hideous some of the uniforms from back in the day were. Here is my list of the 10 worse uniforms I have been witness to in the majors (10-6 today, 5-1 tomorrow). More Top Ten lists to come.

10.Atlanta Braves - Sunday red alternate uniforms. I am a Braves fan, but the jerseys they wear on Sundays are too much, they actually almost look orange. I like the new midnight blue road alternate jerseys, but 3 jerseys are more than enough.

9.Tampa Bay Devil Rays - before they were the Tampa Bay Rays. Just look at the picture below, enough said. Thank goodness they changed to the navy blue and got rid of the yellow and purple.

8.Boston Red Sox - Green jerseys. The Red Sox wear their green jerseys during spring training for St. Patrick's Day and it is a good look, but once they were worn during the regular season and all I can say is "Holy Santa  Claus." Looks like a Christmas outfit for sure. Stick to your classic jerseys, you are the Red Sox.

7.San Diego Padres - Mustard Jerseys (1972). This came onto my radar a few years ago during a throwback game against the Braves. These jerseys are really bad, looks like a big mustard ball. I will say that I love the hat, classic.

6. Chicago White Sox - Shorts (1976). The White Sox will make the list a couple of times. In 1976 they wore these shorts for only three games, but how can these not be on the list for horrible uniforms. The collar adds to the nastiness. They look like a church league softball team.

Hello World

November 21^st is the 38^th annual “World Hello Day.” The intent of this day is for everyone to say hello to 10 people and according to this group, this demonstrates the importance of personal communication for preserving peace. The event began in 1973 in response to the Yom Kippur War. I guess that depends on who you say hello to, I am guessing in some cases this could create a brawl or severe beating, so be careful in who you say hello too. Hello to all!!

Blow the Whistle

After watching a handful of NBA games since the season started something was missing and then it hit me, the players are complaining and flailing their arms after every foul or whistle. I must say I love the way arguing is being handled this year. First, the referees have been instructed to put up with nothing and give a technical foul to who makes a gesture to question a call. Second, the league is starting to fine the players double the standard fines. It is much easier to watch a game and not see the players acting like elementary league players with 8 foot goals. Thank you David Stern for taking this part out of the game, it had gotten to a point of being ridiculous.

Music To Your Rears

With the holidays just around the corner I thought I would share a great gift idea for those who are really into music, Jammin’ Johns. Jammin’ Johns are handcrafted guitar and keyboard toilet seats. They come in three styles, acoustic, electric and grand piano. There website says it all, “Almost everyone has a toilet seat. And everyone else has a guitar or a keyboard. But only Jammin’ Johns has them combined.” Just when I thought I have seen it all, I was wrong. The guy who created these came up with the idea when he created a guitar from a toilet lid.

Happy Belated Birthday to The Marines!!

On November 10th the United States Marine Corp turned 235! 6% of the U.S. Military budget is spent on the U.S. Marine Corps, with the cost of training a Marine around $20,000 less than any other service man. For those humble numbers you get 15% of the maneuverable battalions and attack aircraft of the United States military output. Math up those numbers, and you get 100% badass!

You want me to pee where....

Urine-powered cars, homes and personal electronic devices could be available soon with new technology developed by scientists at Ohio University*. Supposedly one cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water to 19 houses and a car could travel approximately 90 miles per gallon. This could mean crappy news for the port-a-potty business, as this means more people just filling up the tanks. I am sure this is not good news either for the fuel companies either, but they do not need the money that’s for sure. I honestly believe that this has no chance in the real world (see electric cars).

I was able to find a chemist and professor at UGA who shared his insight as well, “The waste products from say a chicken farm could be used to produce the energy needed to run the farm,” said John Stickney. GO DAWGS!!!

I know we could be seeing a lot more of this and screaming “no need for a bathroom, that’s perfectly good fuel.”

Some other uses of urine:

-reduces the pain of a jellyfish sting

-a flavor additive for cigarettes

-browning agent for factory made pretzels

-urophagia

*This will be the one and only time I will be talking about Ohio University.

…and there was much rejoicing

Dr. Lewis has created one of the most innovative and greatest creations in our generation, the Beer Machine. The Beer Machine is a tool for home-beer making for dummies. It is an all-in-one single step fermenter, conditioning vessel and dispenser. All you have to do is add water. So basically home-beer making for dummies. American, Canadian, Australian, British, Dutch, Irish, German and Danish mixes are available. You can have homemade brew in as a little as seven days!!

The Beer Machine is here and it’s ready to pour some more joy into your life.
