yes, i remember them being major league names also. when i played in the GVLL, we had the team name on the front and the sponsor name on the back where a player's name would be. the only team name i remember was the phillies and we were pretty damn bad.

if memory serves me, the team names are actual major league names, so gothamist should really duke it out for the mets (or the yankees i suppose), or if all else fails, the giants or the dodgers. and i'm with corie - gothamist baseball t's are a must.

Will Gothamist still be able to name the team the Gothamist Pandas? If it's because they have issues with promoting the website, how about the "Bad News Pandas", or the "Bad Blog Pandas"?

Lance also eats Kobe steaks every single day (he has three stomachs). And, sure, Hilton, you can be Beanie and yell "Earmuffs!" whenever we want to say something off color in front of the kids. Which means you'll be screaming a lot.

lance eats faberge egg omletes for breakfast.

If I donate, may I can be the Beanie (Vince Vaughn) character from Old School? I've always wanted to be that kinda male.

good lookin out! i coached pop warner football for 11 and 12 year olds from my neighborhood boys & girls club this fall. lots of fun and a great way to give back. jake, my funds are tight, but i sent you a little dough out of principle.

can we buy league tshirts?

Thanks for the clarification Jake. This "Lance" must be a big spender, since we all know Jake Dobkin and Jen Chung don't have $400 each hanging around to spend on this!

Do donations come with box seats? Will we have waitress service? I hate passing the hot dogs down the line in the cheap seats. Will we be able to hang with the players at the China Club's VIP roof deck? This is starting to sound like a great idea.

i worry, gothamist, that this little project might be "... all for the glorification of your massive ego!" :) opt1 (the correct response? 'hire this man!')

Jen

Yes, I'll be making expensive trades (or trying to entice kids with expensive video games) and asking Jake to get me an eggplant calzone.

I see Jen and Jake as Steinbrenner and Cashmen -- Jen up in some box (she will bring her own plexiglass to the games) phoning Jake down below yelling at him to trade the first baseman for a guy who can hit... Jen doing commercials ala the Jeter AMEX ones... 'I hear you're staying up late watching South Park!' God.. this is bliss...

jake

well, most of it will be coming from jake dobkin and jen chung, as well as our silent partner, who i will refer to as "Lance"- but please please please cough up some dough! Think of the children!

Are you serious? Where is all this sponsorship money supposed to come from anyway? Lastly, is gambling on Little League games legal?
