October 11, 200520 yr I was at a local sports store today, just scoping out some of the White Sox gear, when I noticed that all of the AL Central Champs t-shirts with players names on the backs were on sale for $7.50. I asked why this was, and under infielders they forgot to list JOE CREDE. I don't know if this was universal or if it was just a random batch of shirts, but I felt pretty bad for Joe. They even included Blum! But no Crede!

All the stores by me CLAIM to be sold out, but I've never seen one shirt or one empty rack at their stores.
October 11, 200520 yr When MLB made the shirts, they were making the shirts based off a roster on which Joe was excluded because he was on the DL with his injured hand or whatever it was. Regardless, it's a huge error by MLB. I got my info for Scott Reifert's "Inside the White Sox" blog...Here's what he had to say... --------------------- Crede T-Shirt Some have noticed that one version of the Division Championship t-shirt on sale at the ballpark omits Joe Crede's name from the roster. The shirts were produced by an MLB supplier at the time Joe was on the disabled list, so when they pulled the roster for the t-shirt, his name did not show up. Just prior to game time, Joe was busy with a white magic marker adding his name to thousands of shirts. We figured they would be worth more this way. --------------------- Here's the link...http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/
October 11, 200520 yr Does anyone have a pic of the shirt? I would be intrested in getting one. also from what online store could i buy one for good price? im from florida.
October 11, 200520 yr The day I got my roster shirt in the mail I scoped through the names on the back, I immediatley noticed that Crede's name had been omitted, I really don't mind.
October 11, 200520 yr Even with the absence of Joe, I'd pick up about 3 of those shirts. $7.50! WOWZA!
