BALTIMORE -- The Cardinals will don powder blue hats and uniforms with the same powder blue script for both of their games this weekend as part of Major League Baseball's league-wide effort to raise awareness for prostrate cancer. The initiative was timed to coincide with Father's Day weekend.
Several other items of blue apparel and equipment will be spotted at ballparks across the country this weekend. Players will be wearing blue ribbons, blue wristbands and one of two variations of blue-infused socks. Blue compression sleeves, batting gloves, footwear, wrist/elbow/leg guards and catcher's equipment will also be featured.
It is the first time that MLB has had players and on-field staff wear special blue attire to mark this weekend.
