Happy Fourth of July Weekend!
Grab some beer, unplug the phone (does anyone do that anymore?) and watch baseball.
Last night every team had some sort of American and pro-American feel to their uni's. As Flash Gordon shows, he's wild about his navy blue Phillies hat.
So when will it end? All these "special" uniform pieces? Cincy was sporting camo jerseys, something usually done by the Padres. Hats off to Milwaukee and Pittsburgh for wearing the throwbacks... because I truly love throwbacks. Though they should make them flannel, for ol' time sake.
Might I digress, these uni's are getting crazy. It's one thing to have white players wear Jackie Robinson's number and another to have special hats for spring training and batting practice but why oh why do we need these special hats. What happened to sewing an American Flag on the sleeve or having veterans get reduced admission. Those guys did something, even though they may not be Thomas Jefferson or John Quincy Adams, they helped make sure the Fourth exists.
What's next, is the NFL going to put "C's" on the jerseys for team captains... oh wait they did.
Sal Says: The NFL ripped off the idea from the NHL, a real sport.
