Get your #25 jerseys for 75% off.

A few years ago, a friend of mine got married in Seattle. My first stop out of the airport -- even before I got to my hotel room -- was a tour of Safeco Field. Naturally, this tour included a visit to the gift shop (in fact, the tour begins and ends in the gift shop, nudge nudge, wink wink).

The Mariners had traded David Bell to the Giants earlier in the year. The Ichiro stuff was hot. The David Bell stuff was on the discount rack. Just cracked me up, for some reason. The vexing problem for the sales guy as he tries to unload the merch of a not-so-popular player who's no longer even on the team.

The first thing I thought of when I read that Giambi had admitted to steroid use? The David Bell Discount Rack.
