Riggs Jersey?

Discussion in the Open Talk forum
Riggs Jersey?
Do they sell Riggs' jerseys anywhere over in Japan? If they do, how much are they? Just wondering, thanks.

I don't think I've ever seen a Riggs Jersey anywhere before, apart from those that have obviously "home-sewn" lettering and numbers on the back.

Yakult, being one of the smaller teams, doesn't tend to make foreign players' jerseys/merchandise unless they are a certainty to be a long term player for the team (such as Ramirez has been), which is rare.

However, after the season he's had this year, if he's back (as I hope) for next year, then expect to see more Riggs goods around and about at Jingu.

Have you heard anything about Yakult Swallows signing him again, or another teams in MLB or Japan? If so, who?

No news as yet, though with Iwamura being posted and LaRocca looking like he will be released, it would be a monumental gaff by the Swallows if they didn't re-sign him.
