    Pujols friend at the HR Derby

    I was able to zoom in on the tagging on this jersey. What do you think this is all about?

        Looks like Albert had special jerseys made for the All star game. Wonder if Albert himself was wearing one?

          Reminiscent of some of those late 80's Strawberry or Gooden Mets home white pinstripe All Star jerseys we've all seen before..

                Didn't each player have a fan "attached" to them who would win something if their hitter won the HR Derby? Could this be Pujols' designated fan? Would be surprised if Albert has many personal friends who would wear that haircut.

                  I think they showed all the fans that were attached to the players, and they were all kids like 11-15 if I remember correctly.

                    They were't nescerraily fans I beleive they each had a kid from the boys and girls club attachted to them.

                    As far as that guy, isn't he the same guy who was with Albert Last time I even think he was the guy with Ortiz when Ortiz handed Guerrero the bat at the last Home Run Derby he was at.

                    BUT WHY WOULD YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF 2 BATS LEANING ON PUJOLS'S BAT???????????

                      Those are actually background photos as I cropped them as the subject in the photo was Ryan Howard at the plate.

                      I was going through photos and noticed that guy in the background of another photo and cropped on the tagging.

                      I took over 600 photos on the HR Derby. It is cool what you can find in the background. I got some great photos of Erin Andrews in some of the photos too as she is everywhere.

                        Ah ha - so you are the one ESPN investigators are looking for!

                          I was on the 3rd base dugout where ESPN was set up so Erin is in the foreground of many of the photos. Got to talk to her too, very nice. My favorite pics were where she was showing the foul ball that hit her the week before.

                            To the original question, what up with that tagging? I am not an all star jersey expert by any stretch. However, that is very similar to the tagging present on the 1999 McGwire All Star game jersey that was in the Hunt AS Game auction. So perhaps that is either tagging for AS game jerseys, or maybe Cards AS game jerseys? Hopefully somebody more familiar with either could comment.

                              I'm guessing it's the mysterious cousin that Albert gave all of his High School and College bats to. All 800 of them. Every one signed.
