Major League Baseball’s Players’ Weekend is a fun touch as the calendar prepares to flip to September. Most teams, like our beloved San Diego Padres, are out of the playoff picture with not a lot to play for over the final few weeks of the season. Players’ Weekend provides players the opportunity to showcase a bit of personality out on the field, while honoring their favorite charities and recognizing all levels of baseball, from little league to the big leagues.
Baseball, and sports in general, should always be about having fun. When you have the luxury of playing a game for a living, you should be able to have a little fun with it!
