Kansas City Royals Fan Sports Personalized “DENKINGER” Jersey

Earlier this week, we “celebrated” the 24 year anniversary of the infamous 1985 World Series game where one man decided to haphazardly rip Game 6 momentum from the St. Louis Cardinals and hand-deliver it to the Kansas City Royals.  We shouldn’t name names, but for sake of clarity, it was Don Denkinger.

Don Denkinger.

Since our readers observe our (sometimes blind) loyalty to our beloved Cardinals, we received the following photo in our Inbox yesterday.

Pricks.

Truth be told, as we step back from our St. Louis allegiance and regular personalized jersey abhorrence, we must admit that this jersey is moderately entertaining.  The Royals and Cards usually play one or two interleague series per year and during those weekends, the host city is bombarded with unoriginal drunken monkeys.  Royals suck.  Cardinals take it in the Pu-Holes.  It’s all *very* original.

The guy above took a step outside the box and got creative.  We appreciate that, ever so slightly.  It’s more than we can say about the idiot standing to his right, who went the traditional “I’m a crazy guy with crazy hair on my crazy head!! Look at me!!” route.

Side Note: the general idea of the DENKINGER jersey prompted a question on this week’s JoeSportsFan Show, in which we asked our guests, “You goal for a Halloween costume this year is to horrify one distinct fan base.  What are you going as?”  The show will be released on Wednesday afternoon.  Check back for download information.
