When I was at the Nationals game last week and I realized something. All those people wearing player jerseys... They are Cos Playing.

I agree, which is why I've attended 100 baseball games and never been seen wearing a jersey. I even have this scale:

Microdouche: Wearing a team jersey at the opponent's stadium
Decidouche: Wearing a team jersey at the home stadium
Douche: Wearing a team jersey when not at a game
Kilodouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season
Megadouche: Wearing a team jersey during the off season outside of the team's home territory

Seriously, I am so constantly sitting in judgment of people it is amazing I have a job.

Where on the scale is going to the stadium wearing a team jersey that's not from either team playing? (I'm looking at you Yankees fans)

Petadouche

Maxes out at Yottadouche and that would be someone wearing an Indians jersey while saying "What!? How could anybody find our logo offensive?", anybody wearing any jersey while doing a tomahawk chop, or the Redskins fans who answered a poll recently saying they thought Redskin was the appropriate way to refer to Native Americans.

And when you see one of these people you ar morally required to point at them and say in your best Yakov Smirnoff impersonation: "that's a whole yottadouche!"

I don't think wearing a baseball team's jersey or cap qualifies as Cos Playing because you're not pretending to be a character. I think that's true even if the jersey has a particular player's name or number on it. The baseball fandom is more team loyalty driven. Wearing a jersey is just like waving a flag.

Football, basketball, soccer, the thing on the ice that used to matter: they're all more superstar driven, so I can see a Cos Play element in jersey wearing with those sports. I would add that baseball is more of a regular guy sort of sport. The superstars don't come of as having super powers. I could wear a Pablo Sandoval jersey without feeling as gosh darn ridiculous--not to mention a little gay--as I would if I wore a Colin Kaepernick jersey.

I disagree!

And by the rules of the game that means I'm right. Jersey=Douche. Doesn't mean the douche isn't a very nice person.
