Re: MLB Off-Topic

I wonder if Bryant and Rizzo will both have "Bryzzo" on theirs.

Maybe Zobrist has "Bryzzobrist"

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I actually like the jerseys and hats. It has a little league feel to it and being worn for only a weekend isn't going to be the end of the world. I saw the consolidated list of the Blue Jays nicknames most of which are a bit stupid (sadly, Pillar's is just "PIL") but it's all in the name of fun so it's not too bad.

Well, it is in cooperation(?)/conjunction(?) with the Little League World Series.

The special features of the Players Weekend games will also be adopted by the Pirates and Cardinals during the MLB Little League Classic to be played Aug. 20 in Williamsport, Pa., during the 2017 Little League World Series. The game, which will celebrate youth baseball, will be played in front of a crowd of primarily Little League players and their families at renovated historic Bowman Field.

Earlier that day, MLB players will attend Little League World Series games and cheer on these [youngsters] as a demonstration of the players' passion and commitment to helping grow the game at the youth level. The MLB Little League Classic will air nationally on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" and ESPN Radio at 7 p.m. ET.

Was he not allowed to use 'Superman'? He could've had one of best of all guys with nicknames.

He might not have been. And Superman really isn't that great of a nickname.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Who was it that said this was dumb idea because hardly any players had nicknames?

I count 22 on the A's 25 man that will have custom jerseys. I'd imagine most teams are on part with that.

At least the Braves jersey itself isn't quite as grotesque as the others.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Yeah, most of those jerseys are meh. I do think the Phillies one looks ok.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Joey Votto's reasoning behind his nickname is pretty cool.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I would bet $100M that Bumgarner is not going to put MadBum on the back of his jersey.

This here is a man that better start mowing lawns and sitting babies.

I only saw the banner but haven't had a chance to look into it. Who on the A's chose "PTBNL?" I do actually like that.

I actually like the nicknames for Brandon Belt and Joe Panik the most. Honorable mention to Josh Osich and Cory Gearrin.

I think my birthday present to myself is gonna be going to watch Trout hammer the Rangers in Arlington. I've seen Kershaw live, now I need Trout.

Right up there with what Lester and LaStella picked. Honorable mention to Rizzo. That's creative too.
