This showed up on the MLB Shop website and a few readers brought it to my attention. I immediately ordered it and several hours later the listing had disappeared from the site.
I expected the order to be cancelled, but when I got home there was a box waiting for me. I wondered what the hell I’d ordered (I tend to forget what I buy) and found this lovely surprise.

Nope, me and a bunch of people that also own New England Patriots Super Bowl 46 Champions gear are in luck and we have a rarity…which is cool, because I have been looking for this shirt since the days my buddy Quinn and I used to hang out in his basement.

This shirt will likely be worn once, probably to a Uni Watch event. Your move Paul Lukas.
