You only turn 30 once, and you’d best be wearing an undersized Derek Boogaard jersey

Featured commenter Roughkat invited us out last night to celebrate the 30th birthday party (part of 30th birthday fortnight celebrations) of his special lady friend, Sarah. She was no doubt delighted that several of his “Internet Friends” were also there (us, Super Rookie and Muxhut) to usher her into her 30s at a St. Paul Saints baseball game. Absolute highlight: Super Rookie saying, “You know what sport you should do for Good Sports,” and us, not missing a beat and replying, “Curling?” And him being astounded because that’s exactly what he was thinking. A very close second: The RSLF receiving a youth small/medium Derek Boogaard jersey from Roughkat and proudly wearing it the rest of the night.
And it also led naturally to your midday question: What current Twin Cities athlete has the jersey that is most proudly worn by fans?
If you like “summer in a glass” and Irish car bombs, your answer is Derek Boogaard. But we’ll let you decide for yourselves.
