Minor typo in the final Grab Bag piece. It should be “Canisteo” rather than “Caniesto.”
This jumped out to me because I served on the USS CANISTEO (named after the Canisteo River) some years ago.
Thanks. Fixed.
The NASCAR era has arrived in MLB. That Kyle Harrison jersey will be the norm rather than the exception.
Indeed.
The ad patch is the best-looking part of the uniform.
The irony being that it was the non-ad sleeve that looked like it belongs on a NASCAR driver’s jumpsuit.
That’s 32 short of the required 37 pieces on that jersey…shheeeeesh!
