The Dullness Of Nickname Weekend Makes Me Sad
Nostalgia is little more than history gone rancid, but it sure seems like baseball nicknames were better in the "good old days". It's Nickname Weekend throughout major league baseball and my only thought is: Can these guys really do no better than this???
Even worse ... the uniforms will be in black and white! A statement from MLB claims that these "fashionable monochromatic uniforms" are "inspired by players' style choices when they are away from the field". ... Uh-huh.
Every team's roster is plagued by a near-total lack of creativity. ... David Price really should have gone with "YUCK", but from where I sit, he has no sense of humour.
