A good story from the Ledger. A nice lady from Cranford New Jersey is the one to thank (or blame) of the Mets look hideous in 2009.
As Major League Baseball’s vice president of design services, Occi, a 52-year-old mother of two who has lived in Cranford for most of her life, is the woman behind MLB’s “look” — the one who is charged with keeping America’s pastime fashion forward.
“The look of the game, or the look of the club, it’s what people embrace,” Occi said recently. “That’s how people show their exuberance toward the team. There’s nothing better than to go into a ballpark and see everybody dressed in all the licensed merchandise, which is how they show their passion for their club. That’s great, that’s wonderful.”
