Player’s Weekend is one of the rare good things that MLB does. Whether you like the jerseys or think the nicknames are dumb, it is one of the few times in professional sports where the governing body tells the players that the big wigs make money off of to be themselves. “Forget the strict dress code. Don’t worry about (some of) the ‘unwritten rules.’” That’s fun! It makes the casual fan curious. It makes younger people take notice. Baseball needs those sorts of things to happen more often.
Some of the players are very lame with the name they choose to put on their back or on their arm patch this weekend.
