The United States of Steven Pearce.
Earlier today, the New York Yankees re-acquired Steven Pearce, who never actually made it to New York the first time around. It’s the fifth time he’s had to make change of address cards this year, making him one of the more well-traveled players in the league. All because he can bash those lefthanders.
1. Released by Twins on March 27, 2012
2. Signed by Yankees on March 29th. Sent to Scranton Wilkes-Barre.
3. Purchased by the Baltimore Orioles on June 2nd.
4. Selected off waivers by the Astros on July 28th.
5. Acquired by Yankees for cash considerations on August 27th.
According to Google Maps, all this movement comes to the tune of 4,551 miles. Don’t get too comfortable, Mr. Pearce.

he flirted with my girlfriend.
Quick: three guess as to who throws left handed, kind of, has a big goofy smile, and a chin strap beard on the Phillies? Give up? Why it’s Roy Halladay, of course, doing three things he would never, ever do.
Even better, the MLB.com product description lists this as:
“Hand crafted and hand painted with decals to authenticate the logos, names and numbers on their uniforms to replicate the ones they wear on the field.”
So…good job on getting the logos right, I guess.
