Add “jersey sales” to the long list of perks that come with winning a World Series.
Major League Baseball released a list of its most popular-selling jerseys Thursday, and Boston Red Sox stars David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Ortiz capped a resurgent 2013 season with a white-hot performance in the World Series, going 11-for-16 with two home runs and six RBIs and earning MVP honors. Pedroia was no slouch either, posting a .301 average during the 2013 regular season and driving in five runs over four games in the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The list of the top 20 jerseys sold on MLB.com’s shop during the 2013-2014 offseason, via Boston.com, features four members of the 2013 Red Sox, with closer Koji Uehara at No. 18 and now-Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury at No. 20.
Rounding out the top five were Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter (No. 3), St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (No. 4) and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw (No. 5).
