We understand the desire to milk every last dollar out of sports fans, but we have to say, the "Wild Card collection" is ridiculously bizarre. The Sports Hernia Blog pointed out the Yankees Wild Card hat and some reactions to it:
"If I see one person wearing that hat, they will get a swift donkey punch. I will take their hat, light it on fire and then shove it up there f**king nose." -- Brian, 30, passionate Yankee fanHilarious - and more hilarious is that the hat seems to be sold out on Modell's. But don't fear -there are other accessories you can get, like a Yankees 2007 AL Wild Card duffle or a Yankees 2007 AL Wild Card hoodie. And, yes, the Rockies have their own 2007 NL Wild Card gear."I heard they're coming out with a whole line of these hats that say 'Designated Hitter,' 'Trading Deadline, and '1-Game Playoff.'" -- Noonan, Sports Hernia staff
"While receiving my wild card hat, I had to sign for the delivery and when I attempted to do so, all ten of my fingers immediately cracked and became dislocated, and a tendon in my elbow ruptured. I have not seen the hat yet, but the Yankee fans should know I'll be back and better than, well, just better."
-- Carl Pavano
The NY Times' Tyler Kepner offered some extra quotes from Alex Rodriguez that didn't make it into a Times article. When asked if the media "puts unfair expectations" on him, he replied, "I mean, look, New York is very simple. You play well, they’re going to be happy. You don’t play well, they’re going to be not as happy. But you know what you get in New York. You’ve got to love it. That’s why I’m here."

It's not much worse than a Spring Training hat or Jersey that they change the design for every year so that suckers will buy them.
"I paid all this money to win the pennant, and all I got was this lousy (Wild Card) cap!"
-George Steinbrenner
hahahahahahahahhahaahhha!
eat it, wankees fans! (no typo!)
"Wild Card...better than nothing!"
"Wild Card...you win some, you lose some!"
"Wild Card...at least we're not the Mets!"
Anyone wanna buy a NY Yankees 2004 ALCS series champs hat..?
great shout
#2 You'll eat after the Yankees win the World Series.
"We're Number 2!"
The wild card for the Yanks is like making out with your sister: It feels good to be in there, but you know deep down you feel bad for being there.
Do these hats come with some kind of warning - do not remove tag under penalty of the law? I was watching the Colorado Rockies celebrate their victory, all wearing their Wildcard hats with the price tags flapping on the back. Looked rather odd.
So this sports hernia guy is going to have anal sex and then punch the person for wearing the hat?
Jokes on them, cause he's not really gay.
They leave the tags on so they can be sold as authentic used on field clothing.
