So the Tampa Bay Rays are gearing up to play the Philadelphia Phillies in the first of seven games tomorrow night in Florida in the hopes of soon securing a final win at the 2008 World Championships when all is said and done. Not really being a baseball fan myself, the hype surrounding this phase of the games is all too distracting. I mean, everywhere I go in the Tri-State area, its Phillies this and Phillies that. I come into work and that is all people are ordering. Fifteen yards of Philly fleece here and 20 yards there; what are these people doing with all this 100% polyester stuff anyway? At some point I had to ask. Seems many recently secured tickets at unbelievable costs ($1,000 and up) for Game #2
being held right here in the City of Brotherly Love this Saturday. Others are making fun and funky paraphernalia for friends and family members who will be rooting from stadium seats while they sit snuggly at home in front of their screen televisions. From warm throws and fashionable head coverings, to comfy fanny seat cushions and wind resistant hoodies, no fan is planning to be without some form of protection as they root, root, root for their home team all the way to the BIG WIN.
As for me, while baseball itself seems like a boring sport and quite UN-entertaining for me, I must admit, I do get a rise out of the fans hype and response good, bad or indifferent to the sport, players and teams they love the most. Though you won’t catch me screaming from the stadiums as another home run is hit, nor sporting a Phillies team shirt just to follow the crowd, you might see me in the last final minutes of the ninth inning waiting for your reaction from inside the walls of J&O Fabrics, as the calls for more Phillies fleece come pouring in.

After winning the National League East Division title last Saturday night and beating out the Washington Nationals with a two-run home run by Lou Marson for a chance at the World Series Title, the Phillies pair up today with the Milwaukie Brewers in game one of the Division Series Playoffs. Both teams will try to end their respective droughts while the Dodgers and Cubs compete for the chance to move forward in the 3 out of 5 series. With a 3pm game time, ticket holders across the Tri-State region will be piling onto the highways and into Citizens Bank Park to show their support and “root-root-root” for their home team while co-workers and envious friends try to sneak a peak of the game and listen in on discreet work radios for the latest inning news. Whether you are one of the lucky ones or one of the ‘rest of them’ who will be cheering from in front of the tube, make sure you do it in style with the hottest Phillies fabric crafts. From warm throws and comfy seat cushions to fashionable outerwear and funky gloves, your

Take me out to the ball game.
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some J&O fabric.
I don’t care if we never shop anywhere else ‘cause it’s the best fabric store in the world!
With opening day less than 20 days away, and the cold weather still lingering in the midst, MLB (major league baseball) fans are eagerly gearing up for another round of submarine style pitches, sneaky stolen plates and out-the-park home run hitters from their favorite teams. With all the excitement of the spring season ahead, it’s easy to overlook some of the simple things that will make the long innings on hard stadium seats a little more comfortable.
It's root, root, root for the home team.
I don't care if they loose.
Whether you’re rooting from the plastic seats of the ball park or from the soft cushions of your favorite couch, our MLB fleeces can offer that extra bit of softness and warmth to go along with the rooting fans and the foot-long hotdogs that make a day at the park all worthwhile.
At J&O, we carry some of the coolest MBL fleece fabrics for our baseball fans nationwide. With a few yards of material and a little creativity, your team spirit can be expressed in the form of a simple logo filled craft project to carry or wear when the pitcher takes the mound.
If you’re a New York Mets fan, make great seat cushions for the ‘fanny’ in you. If you are a diehard Philadelphia Phillies fan, gather your family and lay a home-made fleece throw across your laps or around your shoulders to keep the nippy nights under the big lights a little more special. And if you’d rather be watching dare devil men speed around and around the Nascar track as screaming fans cheer on instead, but you have a knack for crafts too, then gather a yard or two from each teams fleece to make unique gifts for friends and loved ones that they will surely cherish even after the last game has been won.
Yes it's one, two, three strikes you’re out, at the ole ball game!
Out of fabric that is, if you wait too long.
Hurry before it's all gone.
