Nomah “You Broke My Heart” Garciparrah…

and

Manny “I’ll Let Manny Be Manny as Long as Manny Keep Boston Happy” Ramirez…

He needs an old-school Johnny Damon mullet, Caroline McG.

    Rally cap ferret!

  2. Mela says:

    I truly love that time was time was taken to create a tiny, ferret sized baseball cap. I’ve known a few hardcore Red Sox fans in my time, (but really, are there any other kind?) and this little fella totally fits right in.

  3. Meaghan says:

    He’s got such a beepable nose.

  4. earlybird1 says:

    OMG, it took me forever to figure out the first photo. It tewtally looks like a ferret head on top of a human neck and shoulders. Then again, I did just wake up. Whoa……

  5. earlybird1 says:

    Plus, the tacky glue on the table was making me suspicious…

  6. Saffron says:

    Where is Big Papi?

    Wait a minute…I need to have a brief interlude:
    YANKEES S*CK!

    OK, back now. :) :) Sorry,

  7. Mika says:

    He’s got season tickets at Ferretway Parck.

  8. chanpon says:

    Ferret even has the appropriately grumpy, disillusioned look in the first pic. Classic!

  9. O NO (he/she/it) DI-unt!!!!!!??? says:

    no no no peeps you’ve MISSED THA point!!!

    Ok, sure the critters are adequately Qte (maybe even an A+) but the REAL qwershtyun is:

    “WHERE”s Von Zepp????”

    (Likely answer: Fennway Park, or at Spring Training Camp raht heah in FloRIda!”

  10. Rachael says:

    earlybird1: It still looks like a ferret head atop human neck and shoulders. And I’ve been up for hours. :)

    Cutest ferret-fan I’ve ever seen.

  11. Andi from NC says:

    The cap rocks – especially when in the rally posishe!!

  12. Evee says:

    the “boston accent” is terrible… (who says fahvorite??) but the pictures are great!

    Go Sox!!!!!

  13. Kate says:

    But Manny doesn’t even play for Boston anymore. Go Sox!

  14. 260Oakley says:

    Bet ferrets would be great at stealing bases.

  15. Barbara says:

    It’s a brand new cap. I know by the tacky glue on the table. He probably used to be a Yankees fan.

  16. eternalhearts says:

    I’m in love with you.

  17. bee bee says:

    Wicked cute, guy.

  18. Ali says:

    OMG!! That’s my close friend’s ferret. His name is Pickles!!!

  19. Ali says:

  20. Theresa says:

  21. Theresa says:

    PS My fanny is in the seat for Mets Opening Day!!!

  22. Amy R. says:

    Did you know that April is Adopt a Rescued Ferret Month??

    Yay for ferrets!

    (Note there is a ferret named Amy on that page)

  23. Mel says:

    OMG, ferret overload! There’s been more ferrets in the last few weeks then I remember in a looong time on CO!

    (this is of course AWESOME!)

  24. Trin says:

    Stolen bases would all turn up under the bed…

  25. CrazyNewt says:

    Oh my god. If that ferret was in a hockey jersey, this picture would be absolutely perfect. As it is, it’s still a 97.38%.

    Ferrets = Win.

  26. Theresa says:

  28. Phill says:

    Let’s go, Yankees!

  29. CatViccer says:

    First pic ferret’s lil arm across the chair is crackin me up! Kinda looks like my dad leaning back over the seat on family trips, “So help me if I have to pull this car over!”

  30. Caro says:

    Thanks for all the love guys! Her name is Pickles, but i mostly just call her babygirl, and i actually made this hat for the 2007 season (GO SOX!), but we kept it til now as a good luck charm.

    ps. I’m not sure about all the former players mentioned in the paragraph (i, as a true sox fan, obviously would not have mentioned either of them, but i would have added that she’s almost as cute as Pedroia was last night)

    GO SOX!

  31. Acey says:

    yeah! go sox! SUCK IT, yanks!!

  32. Noelegy says:

    Not into sports, but how cute is this, seriously? And I love the name Pickles for a ferret. Or anything else, really. (Yes, I’m an “Oblongs” fan.)

  33. Caro says:

    actually shes named after the drummer from metalocalypse, but i love the oblongs!

  34. dr. berthaservant says:

    cardinals!

  35. Tindi says:

    Rockies? Anyone? Come ON, you can admit they have sortakinda decent pitching NOW, can’t you?

    And Pickles is an artiste! :)

  36. rcg says:

    niether Damon nor Ramirez has played for the Sox for awhile now.

  37. Caro says:

    (like i said, i didnt write the paragraph, i wouldnt have mentioned that jerkoff damon especially)

  38. Officer (Original) Mel says:

    OMG. I lof it so moishe!

    Go Sox.
