What an incredible night of baseball, I can’t even begin to sum up the roller coaster that was… wow! And just think, if MLB added those extra wild-card teams in time for 2011 none of tonight’s games would’ve really mattered beyond home-field advantage. So, they’d be like a bunch of all-star games, I guess.
Congrats to the Tampa Bay Rays and St. Louis Cardinals on taking their respective leagues wild card titles. We all know what their Wild Card merchandise looks like (which you can purchase here for Tampa Bay and here for St Louis), but what about the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves? Well, here’s the shirts MLB had made in case things went the other way around:
Boston Red Sox 2011 AL Wild Card shirt
Atlanta Braves 2011 NL Wild Card Shirt

Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 12:15As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I'm used to major disappointment. I almost feel like this shirt would be a badge of honor for true Sox fans. Proof that you're a fan through the bad times too. I'd kill to get one.

Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 15:24@BaltimoreJoe Agreed. The design is decent, but the font is atrocious and hardly legible (just look at the "C" in "Card" and the "N" in "NL").
