I owned Pedroia's 2007 World Series game used hat and he made that same mistake - at some point you would think someone would tell him the correct way to shorten the year
I know I already responded to this post, but upon further reflection, you're dreaming if you expect a young, coddled athlete to pay any attention to "correct usage". And given some of the educators of today, who believe that standardized writing is but a means of oppression, I doubt if players' orthography will reflect the grammatical norms of the last century.
