Want: Orioles F*ck Face T-Shirt

Embiggen! Be delighted! Grab your credit card!

The legend of Billy Ripken’s F*ck Face baseball card lives on, now in t-shirt form. As it should, I say.

From the folks at No Mas, where you can order the newest addition to your wardrobe:

Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy, Billy…

In the great whodunnit debate over this most precious of error cards, we say the wound was self-inflicted. How else would he have known to hold the bat so perfectly straight for the camera. The self-degradation provided the perfect cover for what may be the ultimate baseball prank.

You can have you your Cal, and your hall of fame plaque, and your fancy consecutive game streak, and your All-Americanosity. We love us some Billy.

Preach on, No Mas. Preach on.

Not just $34 well spent, but rather $34 very well spent.

    34 bucks? Cool shirt… but on principle, wouldn’t buy it.

    This begs the question of… Why couldn’t one buy a $15 dollar regular Orioles shirt and a $3 sharpie?

    Buy the $15 shirt and the sharpie. Don’t wash it. Hope you don’t run into that tiny cross section of America that is offended by your filthy shirt, but not the fact that you hand wrote “fuckface” on it.

    The sell fabric pens for about the same price as the Sharpie. The Sharpie can bleed and fade, but the fabric pen shouldn’t and will give you the same effect.

    Can I write cunt on the bat instead? With the fabric pen, I know I can write it with a sharpie already.
