Victoria’s Secret has released a new line of MLB apparel, but it might not include your favorite team. Are you a Pirates, Blue Jays, Marlins, Braves, Reds, or Astros fan? Too bad. You don’t get to wear hot baseball panties… which is super lame. I happen to know all kinds of hot ladies who are [...]
