Fausto... looks better than this.

So here's my embarrassing story.

Remember the whole Fausto vs. Sheff thing? I basically don't. I live in Atlanta so it wasn't on the tube, and I was more or less blackout drunk by the time I got home to see the highlights on the Worldwide Leader. It was a Friday, so I had an excuse.

Anyway, what's a drunk guy do when he sees a Tribe pitcher clock this jerk? Well, he logs on and buys himself a jersey. For 255.98.

But the problem is that MLB doesn't sell these things in my size, 46". They only sell 44" and 48". And that night I'm all full of liquid confidence, so I figure I'll look way better in the 44".

No such luck, gents. I'm no David Wells, but apparently I'm no Raffy Perez either. And the real problem is that MLB makes these "customized" player jerseys final purchases.

So anyway, I've got this 44" Carmona Authentic Road Alternate. And it just don't fit. Never wore it. It's been sitting in the closet since September, tags and all. It's still got the invoice stuck to it, matter of fact.

Anyway, I'm not trying to hock it here, because that would be cheesy. But I'm taking suggestions. eBay once the season starts? Cleveland craigslist? What do y'all think?

(And yeah, I realized after watching the tape 43 times (sober) that Vic was equally as badass and possibly even more frightening, so maybe I should've bought #41. But that's neither here nor there.)
