I guess it is possible that this man’s name is Figueroa and he is a big Craig Swan fan.
Oh, and everyone needs to check the fonts on their jerseys. Â I’m seeing a lot of weird Reyes 7 jerseys out there.

Shannon,
The weird font you see on the Reyes jerseys was the standard font used by Majestic on all their replica jerseys pre-2009. They used a generic font, sewn on the jersey in a single layer of twill, for both the name and number. So regardless of whether you got a “Reyes – 7” on a Mets jersey or a “Drew – 7” on a Red Sox jersey, the fonts were exactly the same. The only difference was in color. For the home/road/snow, they used blue and for the loathsome black jerseys, they used white. Last year Majestic switched to what they advertised as the “All New Replica”. They replaced the generic name/number fonts with a single layer of twill, that had the different colors screen-printed on, to make it look like the two-or-three layers most teams use. They also switched to team-specific fonts and a team specific jock tag on the front. So, an improvement but still nowhere near the quality of an authentic jersey.

The shirt looks custom made. Maybe he went to high school with Figgy. He is from Brooklyn after all, you never know
