According to Darren Rovell of CNBC, the Phillies are the only team to have three of the top ten most sold jerseys:
5: Cliff Lee (all teams)
4: Chase Utley
3: Roy Halladay
Something tells me that most of those Lee jersey sales came in the final month of 2010.
I used to be the person responsible for reporting this stuff for MLB.com. Even through 2009, the number of Phillies jerseys sold paled in comparison to the type of numbers the Yankees and Red Sox threw up there. It looks like that gap has significantly narrowed.
Fun fact: If you buy a Phillies jersey online at MLB.com, Modell's, Dick's, The Sports Authority, ESPN, or FogDog, it's likely going to come from the same warehouse and be handled by GSI Commerce in King of Prussia. That goes for all of the leagues. Monopolies!
