Time to break down and get a jersey

Ok, I've now lived in seattle for almost 5 years.  And slowly but surely the Mariners have become my team (I grew up a Mets fan in Oklahoma, go figure).

I've slowly accumulated M's gear (a couple of shirts, a hat, some USSM stuff), but have decided to take the plunge and get a Jersey.  Of course now comes the difficult decision, who's name goes on the back?

I'd like to get one of the younger players, and someone who figures to be here for a while.  What do you think?

None of the Above.
Willie Bloomquist - 16

Watch.  His number is the first that the M's retire...

Free George Sherrill. And Dan Rohn.

beware
i think Felix and Lopez will keep their numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the other guys get numbers switched on them in the next year or two...

I dunno, dude
I'm debating getting a Johjima one, actually, but that's more so I have a general-purpose jersey to wear to games in Japan next month.

Personally, I'd think the Felix jersey is a pretty good bet though -- he's unlikely to change numbers or to leave the Mariners for another 5 years.

(and I have to admit being totally tempted to get a Lowe jersey just because he's SO DAMN COOL but I'm sure if I do he'll suddenly end up being cursed.)

Hey, don't diss the bullpen catcher
I'm totally getting a Buckley 59 A's jersey.

Okay, maybe not.  But he's my favorite bullpen catcher.

Here's one...
Bloomgrove 69

That might get you kicked out of Safeco, though...

Maybe not
The dimsters at the gates probably won't get it.

I don't mind if the number changes
I actually feel kind of cool with my #59 felix shirt.  I'm old school.

Argh, my ex girlfriend lost my Felix 59 shirt...
Bringing back painful memories... :(
