In case you didn’t hear, Major League Baseball is holding something called the Players Weekend from August 25th to the 27th. On that weekend players will get to go all “He Hate Me” and put whatever they want (within reason) as the name on the backs of their jerseys.
Not only that, each team will also be wearing a special alternate little league-inspired uniforms as well. And if I am being honest, I actually like most of these one-off jerseys even better than most of the uniforms teams are currently using.
Here’s a whole bunch of what you will be seeing on Major League diamonds the last weekend in August…
Big Maple. Boomstick. Don't You Know.
