The Los Angeles Dodgers renewed their historic rivalry with the New York Yankees in a rare Interleague series at Dodger Stadium and what could very well be a potential World Series preview.
However, the matchup has also been noteworthy — if not overshadowed a bit — because it marked the beginning of Players Weekend around MLB.
During the three-game stretch, players on all 30 teams are permitted to substitute the last name on the back of their jersey for an approved nickname. Custom-designed bats, cleats and other equipment are also encouraged by the league.
