The New York Yankees are all about tradition. They live it, they breathe it, they love it. So when Players’ Weekend rolls around, it’s a shock to the system.
Yankees players can wear whatever they want? They can don hilariously crafted cleats? They can sport names on the back of their jerseys? No, this can’t be true. It’s not the way of the New York Yankees.
Well, traditionalists better turn off the television and disconnect from the baseball world from August 23-25.
While the monochromatic jerseys are distasteful, to say the least, at least we get to be entertained by player-selected nicknames that perfectly represent these guys that grace the baseball field for at least 162 games every year.
