In addition to my recent proclivity for Hawaiian shirts, I’ve also taken a fancy to obscure Minor League baseball jerseys. I mention this solely because scrolling through pages and pages of eBay auctions looking for the perfect blend of absurdity and savvy design has reminded how beautiful the sport of Minor League baseball is. You have cheap tickets, cheap concessions, and cheap gimmicks. It’s simple baseball, good but not great quality of play but perfect for a Tuesday evening out.
Enter the Cleveland Indians. By and large, the Indians are the antithesis of what makes Minor League culture beautiful.
