Players Weekend is upon us once again but with a slight twist this year. The Kansas City Royals were donning the all-whites last night as the Cleveland Indians wore the all-black uniforms. In the past, the jerseys had been somewhat close to their respective teams’ colors but Major League Baseball decided to simplify things this season.
However, the pitchers wearing white jerseys were required to wear black hats to allow for opposing batters to see the ball better coming out of their hand. Well, perhaps the Royals should have lobbied to wear white hats because Jakob Junis was roughed up again by the Cleveland Indians.
