Stop if you’ve heard this before: Now that the A’s are good again, the names on the backs of their uniforms are about to change.
Fortunately for the A’s and their fans, this time it’s all in the name of good fun. From Aug. 24-26 the A’s and every other MLB team will don new uniforms with nicknames on the back instead of surnames.
Sauce, Capt. Barrel, Manaealator, and Tini are ready for #PlayersWeekend August 24th-26th. What's your favorite nickname? Full list https://t.co/a2CW3H8MKu pic.twitter.com/JGLb5yushn
This will be the second annual “Players Weekend” event as MLB tries to inject some more fun into its game with the youth league inspired look.
