MLB.com Already Selling Yankees AL Champions Gear

Maybe the folks at MLB.com never found out that Game 6 of the ALCS was postponed on Saturday night, or maybe they're just playing the odds, but for some reason you can already buy your Yankees 2009 AL Champion swag in the MLB Shop. That's right, the AL Champions t-shirt that the Yankees will be wearing in the clubhouse as they douse themselves in champagne after knocking off the Los Angeles Angels.

It can be yours for only $24.99 plus shipping and handling! Who cares if they haven't actually eliminated the Angels yet?

Granted, there's nothing wrong with the MLB Shop getting itself prepared for what could possibly happen tonight, but do they really have to put the shirts, hats, flag and mint coins on sale already? And if they're just doing it so Yankees fans can pre-order now so the items don't sell out, shouldn't they be selling Angels gear as well? Or are the Angels shirts only available on MLB Shop for Third World Countries?

Whatever the reasoning is behind it, I'm sure the Angels know about it and will probably be using it for some extra motivation Sunday night.
