ANAHEIM -- Orioles reliever Darren O'Day has waited a long time to take the field with his family's original last name on his back.
O'Day and players around MLB will get the chance to show more of their unique backgrounds and history during the the inaugural Players Weekend from Aug. 25-27, when all players will wear colorful, non-traditional uniforms featuring alternate designs. They'll each be able to put a nickname on the back of the jerseys, made by Majestic Athletic, as well as to wear and use uniquely colored and designed spikes, batting gloves, wristbands, compression sleeves, catcher's masks and bats.
