Jose Bautista and Brett Lawrie haven't had much to celebrate in the second half of 2012, but it sure hasn't hurt their jersey sales.
MLB released a list of the most popular jerseys since the all-star break and the two Toronto Blue Jays stars find themselves among the top 20 for the first time.
The 31-year-old Bautista, whose season was shut down prematurely due to wrist surgery, comes in at No. 16. As for the 23-year-old Lawrie, his No. 13 jersey is the 20th highest selling in MLB in the second half.
Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees, Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers and Ichiro Suzuki of the Yankees top the list, released jointly today by Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association.
