The guy in the baseball shirt
When I come into my office, I pass through the call floor, where CCRs are taking & making calls for our clients. There’s this one guy who is always, every day, wearing a baseball jersey. Now, I’m not normally someone to notice something like this. And, hey, I pretty much wear jeans & a t-shirt every day, so I suppose I’m just as odd, myself.
I first noticed him because I thought he looked just the tiniest bit like Jim. I’m always noticing people who look like him, because he’s adopted & we haven’t done any real searching, so it’s easy to speculate. And, I think Jim would look cute in a baseball jersey.
I figured his favorite team was playing that day or something & thought that he was probably a very nice baseball-fan kind of guy.
Anyway, after walking past him for a week or so, I realized that he wears a baseball jersey every day. I’m not exaggerating. It’s every single day. I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this, because I truly am usually the last person to notice anything like that about anyone.
I’m wondering if, maybe, sometime, some girl told him he looked cute in a baseball jersey, so he’s sticking with what he knows is working for him. Or, if he just likes the look. Or, if he’s not aware at all that it’s possible that anyone would think it odd for him to wear the same thing every day. Or, if he wants people to think that he’s on a minor league team, maybe?
And, I hope that some day, some girl will love him enough to get him to change every once in a while. And, I’m also hoping that some day, some girl will love him enough to not even care that he wears the same thing every day. And that they’ll be very very happy & kind to each other.
