Getcher OFFICIAL World Series Player Clubhouse Carpet!

Posted by meech.one at 1:39 pm ET 21 Comments

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to walk on the same clubhouse carpet as your favorite players on the Philadelphia Phillies?

*crickets*

Well, what if I told you that this carpet would come with the uniform number of one of those players AND the official patch from the 2008 World Series champions AND it would only cost you 250 dollars?

…

C’mon! What kind of fans are you? This is historical carpet, people! Lookit:

via Michael Klein’s The Insider:

Last week, the [pieces of carpet] — decorated with player numbers in authentic uniform fonts, World Series Champions patchs [sic] and the MLB authentication program hologram stickers — went on sale at the game-used collectibles kiosk behind Section 126 in the ballpark.

Prices: $150 for the bench players or $250 for the ‘08 season’s big guns.

And I heard if you lick it you can still taste the champagne from the World Series celebration.

Ugh. I hate when teams do this kind of shit.

Theoretically, if I even wanted a piece of this so-called “clubhouse carpet”, I could pick an 18 x 24 piece of carpet out of the trash somewhere, hot glue a $5 WS patch and a printout of Shane Victorino’s uniform number onto it, tell everybody it’s AUTHENTIC Phillies carpet, and no one would know the friggin difference.

But then again, what kind of loser would want Phillies carpet to begin with?

I’m gonna buy Eric Bruntlett’s and use it for that situation you know when you are really drunk and laying down to call it a night but feel like you might vomit everywhere. So instead of having to rush to a toilet I will have Bruntlett’s piece of carpet next to my bed to vomit on.

But in all seriousness I might go for the Stairs one to go with the ball he signed and wrote “Moon Shot” on.

Two questions: 1) Will they be selling any of the ballgirls’ carpets? 2) Will their carpets match the drapes?

@D.Whitmore & Chris
I second that…. I mean, this DWhitmore guy here… he’s just a real character… Oh man, what a card! I remember way back on a hot day in Cincinatti, when he comes in the clubhouse and says: Hey- you guys.. Boy it’s hot out there! I mean really that guy was SOMEthing.

Off the topic a bit; in the Big League Stew, this blogger, Duk has an opinion story on the Lee vs. Halliday siutation. Is this guy Duk really just Treyhorn trying to defend his goofy assertation that Roy Halliday was thee only option for the Phils?

Duk’s piece is laughable. Especially the part about Philly fans reacting to Lee like a kid getting an Atari 2600 for Xman when he was expecting a Nintendo….whuh? This acquisition of Cliff Lee was OverWhelmingly positive especially when paired with the safe guarding of the minor leaguers.

I guess, when you got nothing to say, just go ahead and make something up. There are always idiots out there who won’t know the difference.

much like how the Yankees are selling a strip of 3×60 sod from the infield at yankee stadium. Only a mere $6,000.

It took exactly 3 posts to change the subject from Phillies clubhouse carpet to shaved ballgirls. Man, I love this site.

On a random note my roommate and I have been subjugated to watching the mets feed on MLB extra innings, and fucking Keith Hernandez just talked about a guy being flamboyant and knowing how to get the hot dog out there. Just saying, Keith Hernandez is probably gay.
