I'm glad to see that it won't just be "Hot Rookies" and "players in new uniforms", but we will also get our Pettites, Wade Millers, Foulkes, Brian Giles, Corey Pattersons, and some of the many, many players that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Isn't this old news?

That was my first thought too. I coulda swore we heard about this a month ago.

That was just the announcement for retailers to get their orders in. This is the official press release.
