Re: MLB Off-Topic
Finally a weekend where players can let loose and have fun. Except they better not bat flip, fist pump, take too long staring at a HR, celebrate too much, show too much personality, have anything remotely non-G rated on their jersey, talk trash, show up the umpire, etc etc. Other than that, go nuts.

It's all just to get more social media exposure, let's be honest.

Re: MLB Off-Topic
I honestly can't think of many players that have a nickname. Chuck Nazty, CarGo Joey Bats, Cutch, JHay, KB, Addy, Zo, JBJ...

And it's only for 3 freaking days. Players aren't being forced to participate.

This old man crowd is what's preventing new fans. They see the internet blow up with negativity any time some minor change takes place.

Re: MLB Off-Topic
MLB wants young fans?

Have any teams had a Fidget Spinner day?

That's the kinda things MLB nees to capitalize on. Those 15 minutes of fame fads that take fire over social media.
