MLB Announces Return of Players' Weekend: Date, Best Nickname Jerseys, More

MLB is bringing back Players' Weekend for the 2019 season, with the event to kick off Aug. 23.

The timing coincides with the end of the 2019 Little League World Series. The third-place and championship games are Aug. 25 in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

In a change from past seasons, MLB is ditching the Little League vibe for the uniforms. According to MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince, black and white will be the two jersey colors, and the home team decides which color it will wear.

One theme will remain: Players get to choose the names on the back of their uniforms.
