Getting your player ready...
A ploy to attract spectator support? Or merely a merchandising tactic? Sophie Gustafson wore a Pittsburgh Pirates logo on her cap and shirt Saturday during the U.S. Women’s Open at Oakmont, but she doesn’t know much about Andrew McCutchen or Evan Meek. She has never seen a Pirates game at PNC Park. Gustafson is a golfer from Sweden, but that didn’t prevent Major League Baseball from signing her to an endorsement deal. This weekend, she’s a Pirates fan. “I’m sponsored by Major League (Baseball), so I wear different teams in different cities,” she said. She’s had the most success while wearing Giants gear.
