An order for 20,000 Melky Cabrera T-shirts were nixed soon after revelations came to light that the 28-year-old All-star MVP player tested positive for testosterone. He received a 50 game suspension (and almost ruined everything, ever) due to the unfortunate doping.
"The original shirts had featured last month's All-Star game MVP but have now been replaced by a 'Gigantes' version with center fielder Angel Pagan's name on the back," Giants spokesperson Staci Slaughter explained to KTVU. "They will be handed out in a giveaway for a Sept. 8 game against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers."
So, congratulations to you, Pagan! You could be the Sutton Foster of MLB.
This fashion ban comes on the heels of Cabrera and his associates' failed attempt to hoodwink MLB by creating a created a phony website, one selling the banned substance, to prove his innocence. Since he's been suspended, fans have appeared at AT&T Park donning anti-Cabrera attire (see above).
