What I ordered vs what I got


Fanatics sent me a Phillies shirt that cost 30 cents to make instead of the cherry blossom ovechkin hoodie that’s now sold out. Refusing to do anything about it. Gonna be so rough when they take over next year

  1. Ugh, but not surprising given my history with Fanatics.

    My now-wife said she first realized she loved me during Game 5 of the 2018 Final. When we were planning our wedding, I realized a decent surprise would be wearing cufflinks made from a game-used Game 5 puck. Fanatics had those cufflinks listed on its web site, so I ordered a pair.

    When they arrived, the certificate of authenticity said they were from Game 2, not Game 5.

    I called Fanatics and the rep said that their database showed that they had only one pair of cufflinks left, and the database said they were from Game 5, but the database also said what they sent me was from Game 5, so…who knows? I had them send that pair, sent back the Game 2 pair, and hoped for the best.

    When the replacement arrived, they were, indeed, from Game 5. Whew.
