For some reason, the MLB.com Shop is already advertising American League Championship gear for both the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.Editor's Note: Conveniently the original link to the Yankees Championship gear doesn't work anymore....figures.Of course I found out first that Yankees apparel was already being posted before realizing it was for both clubs.To MLB.com, yes we all know that either the Yankees or Angels will be the AL Champs, but why do you need to start doing pre-orders during Game 6 of the ALCS? The Yankees could end it tonight, but nothing is definite. Is it just all about greed? Or how about stupidity.Why can't they just wait until there is a clear cut winner and throw it right up at the end of the series?Too bad both teams couldn't be jinxed. Like what you see?
