From the Awful Jersey Hall of Fame

The Kei Igawa!

Igawa, who was acquired by the Yanks as their typical "overreaction to the Red Sox" move (in this case Dice K), posted a career consisting of 2 years, 6 total decisions, 2 wins and a 6.66 ERA. 

Here is where this really gets funny.  The Yankees had to pay a posting fee to the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese league of...   get ready for it...  $26,000,194.00.  That's right folks, Twenty Six Million Dollars Plus for 2 wins. 

As a general jersey attire rule, don't buy a jersey for a guy without seeing him play.  Else you could end up with a Kei Igawa Yankees or a Brady Quinn Browns or god forbid an Antoine Walker Idaho Stampede Jersey.  And let's face it, if you have any of those jerseys, you have a civic responsibility not to wear them.
