I was at a game once and saw someone wearing one of those replica home jerseys with “CROSBY 19″ on the back. It was bizarre. Why would someone spend $80 on that?

Maybe he was a Red Sox fan travelling in disguise…

As we laugh at Pavano, he laughs at the world while driving his Porsche, speeding to his next therapy session. His 19 starts were 26 short of his jersey number 45. Based on his $39,950,000 contract, each of his starts cost Yankee fans around $2,102,631.50. From that Yankee fans got 5 wins or paid $7,990,000 per win. Is there anywhere that man can get refund for his jersey?

lol, Ben.
Doug et all,
YankeesNumbers.com has a list of all players, managers, etc. by the number. Here’s 45:

Nothing too great. Bahnsen, Fielder, Girardi wore it for a time, May, Rasmussen, Tartabull… heh

Phil Hughes likes the number 45. Maybe the guy’s just waiting for Pavano to go so Phil Franchise can take the number.

Don’t kid yourself, Phil will never get that number, the second Pavano officially retires its gonna be retired.
In an unrelated note, Chad Jennings blog is terrific. I know hes AAA but i would read his over Petes any day of the week.

I had a Carl Pavano t-shirt jersey. I bought it from the Yankee Clubhouse for $5. I wore it opening day…and haven’t worn it since. I was thinking about washing my car with it, but I don’t want to smear my car with crap.
