Matt Garza gives Brewers pitchers personalized robes

When baseball players give each other gifts, it's often an exercise in excess — "Here, fellow rich guys, here are $250 headphones for each of you." But when Matt Garza wanted to give his fellow Milwaukee Brewers starting pitchers a spring-training gift, he hit exactly the right note.


He gave them all these oh-so-comfortable looking personalized robes. It's one of those things you'd absolutely use but might never think to buy for yourself — the sign of a wonderful present.




MLB pitchers operate on a schedule in which a proper amount of rest and relaxation is necessary between starts. I know I'd be able to relax at a maximum level if I were wearing a robe with my name and number on it.


Frankly, Garza is brilliant for these. Not only because they're a great gift, but because he's come up with a great new product MLB can market. We've seen MLB sell all sorts of licensed-gear these days, and if they're selling ugly Christmas sweaters, they ought to be selling robes that look like you're favorite players' jersey.
