A popular item that we wanted to make sure found its way into the WPW gear database. We actually don’t see any branding on Giancarlo’s hood, and it may not be the exact version we’re linking to, but this type of hood is worn by lots of Big Leaguers on […]


Lots of guys wearing pants up in warm-ups and we expect, with the added swag thanks to Stance, you’ll see more guys going pants up in the game, too. Buy these just like Giancarlo’s at the link. Photos: @geminikeez

Yasiel Puig’s Wilson glove this year is a simple Dodger two-color A2000 YP66. Blue leather, red trim. A solid look especially for the Dodgers colors. Get it just like Puig’s at the link.
