At first glance, I had thought Manny Ramirez started his own clothing line.  But, no…”Maternity Jersey” is a product from a mother frustrated with the lack of MLB clothing options for the expecting.

As a lifelong Cardinals fan and a mother of three, Erica Keating experienced firsthand the problem of finding a t-shirt that allowed her to show her team spirit while accommodating her pregnant figure. Her most frustrating point was when the Cardinals won the World Series during her second pregnancy, and she couldn’t find a team t-shirt to wear.

Keating operates an online store where soon-to-be mothers can purchase officially licensed shirts.  Those about to drop, currently only have 4 teams to choose from:  St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

C’mon!  Ya gotta at least have the Twins shirt available, no?  It would be perfect for those Minnesota mothers about to give birth to double trouble.  Some other teams which may have subtle double-meanings would be Cubs (available) and Angels.  Not so much the Giants…at least I hope not for the sake of labor pains.
