Are we looking at the world's first tattoo dedicated to a sports blog? After conferring with The Boss, I believe that this tattoo — dedicated to the Padres-centric Gaslamp Ball and depicting the site's famed "Rally Unicorn" — may be a baseball blog pioneer.
(If my assumption is wrong, please happily prove so by sending pictures.)
The above ink is not the first San Diego sports tattoo to adorn the body of The Third Gonzalez. The GLB contributor already sports the logos of both the Pads and Chargers.That'd dedication to both your favorite city and blog right there.
It also got me to thinking. If any of you loyal Stewies decided to go ahead and get a Big League Stew-related tattoo, what would you be getting? A silhouette of Tim Lincecum's(notes) stretch delivery? The Answer Man logo? Evan Longoria(notes) dressed as a sailor while saving a mermaid that looks an awful lot like Eva? The possibilities are endless, so suggest one.

Check out a few more Fashion Ump calls below the fold:

Both B.J. Upton(notes) and Johnny Damon(notes) sported shaving cream beards over the weekend and it made me appreciate that the postgame interview ambush has never advanced past a healthy serving of Gillette. It's like one day all the ballplayers got together and decided that a little stinging of the eyes would always be preferred over being doused with a bucket of water, being depantsed on regional television or whacked across the knees with a fungo bat. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.
Fashion Ump ruling: Inside-the-park home run. Always fun to watch.

To the conspiracy theorists who believed that Larry King was nothing but a head decorated with some shoulders and suspenders, consider your beliefs debunked.
(However, feel free to start spreading the rumor that doctor's recently morphed King's torso with the legs of a drummer from whatever hipster band happens to be cool today.)
Fashion Ump ruling: Mott Haven, hello! You're on the line with Suzyn Waldman and the ghost of Thurman Munson. Go ahead!

There are only a few things guaranteed to make everyone in the world laugh.
A dog wearing a baseball uniform happens to be one of them.

Bud Selig addressed the newest batch of UW Badgers last weekend (video here) and wore the traditional garb for his speech. True story: Just as I did in 2001, Selig was forced to interrupt his James Bond 007 N64 marathon to go pick up his cap and gown from the bookstore. The strange part? It was also my mother who called and reminded him to do so.
Fashion Ump ruling: Summa cum single

Just when you thought the Natinals were done with their spelling errors, pitcher Jordan Zimmermann(notes) has to make a correction on the first bat ever issued to him.
Fashion Ump ruling: Down on strikes

Finally, with Manny Ramirez's(notes) recent PED use, can we hand over the title of best dreads in baseball to its rightful owner, Vladimir Guerrero(notes)?
Fashion Ump ruling: Standup double

He's been rockin it hard and steady with those deadly dreads for too many years. A cute dog and a cuter girl win the grand slam, and Vlad is left with ho-hum doubles? C'mon ump, put your glasses on.

"BLS" in brick with Ivy growing around the letters encircled by red seams. Add some homage to Yahoo. Just below the circle, "By DUK" is written in times new roman font.
There you go.
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28)..........just saying.
