That may very well be the only watchable White Sox game all season.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Loving the hats. White and grey hats need to make a return.

I agree that both should return, but only when paired with a colored alternate jersey. I didn't like the way teams like the Rays and Yankees looked today, but seeing the Nats pair white cap and navy jersey was a nice change.

I think the White Sox looked excellent with their home whites and the white cap. If they got rid of the pinstripes on their home, and then used a white top home cap with black bill, that would look great.

Does anyone know if the SD Padres PCL jerseys will be on sale? I've been looking for one for years and they plan on wearing it again this year.

I visited the Padres shop at Petco Park and was told that if they have them they will not go on sale until the day of the game, which is July 12. MLB Shop has not been very consistent in selling the PCL jerseys in their shop, so you may have to call them for a special order if they have them. I believe they are supposed to be wearing the 1948 jerseys. I did notice they had the 1948 PCL jerseys for sale in kids sizes while I was there.

What I am really looking for is the cap - a navy blue cap with a red "S". I have the Ebbetts Field Flannels version, which was black and orange, but I'd like to get a New Era version, even if it is supposedly the wrong color. EFF insists the true colors that season was black and orange - they claimed to have examined an actual uniform from that season. Everyone had assumed the colors were blue and red but EFF says it is incorrect. I talked to Bill Swank, a San Diego sports historian who has written several books on San Diego baseball history, and he thinks EFF is mistaken and the colors were blue and red.

Is this the first time RWB sleeves have been worn on ID4? These were made by Champion

Thanks for that correction. Couldn't make it out and it looked like the Champion logo while I was watching

For that Padres cap they ought to consider just using it on the 5950 low crown model exclusivley it would work so much better. These retro looks never really look right with these high crown modern hats and this appears like the worst example of them all.

Is that the same PCL jersey the team wore against the Cubs 8-10 years ago? Love that jersey. Lucked out and caught it on MLBShop when they sold it in limited quantities.

I would love for the Orioles to repeat the Wear-Browns-Uniforms-In-St.-Louis promotion they did years ago too, just so I could get one of those too. But I'm not holding my breath, considering how infrequently Baltimore plays in St. Louis.

I need to call MLMD and find out if they are ordering the special events hats in low crown. They did last year with some of the hats, but the people I talk to there always seem to say how much of a pain New Era is to deal with in regards to getting the low crowns.

Go Astros!

Go Texans!

Go Rockets!

Go Javelinas!

Perhaps Gothamite can help me on this, but didn't the Brewers have a 4th of July hat in either 2000 or 2001? I remember someone in my family wearing one as I was in Milwaukee for a 4th of July celebration in either 2000 or 2001, I can't remember.

I'm pretty sure there was a stars & stripes fashion cap prior to the league-wide 4th of July caps. My brother had a gray Red Sox cap that had the flag in the logo.

Diamondbacks are wearing these tonight in tribute to the Yarnell firefighters.

This is a new jersey, right? Don't their regular black jerseys have just a single "A" on the chest?

That looks really freakin good. I love how the wordmark looks over the black. They should consider making this a full time road alternate.

The Diamondbacks need to do all they can to completely ditch that stupid D<>backs script. It's hands down the WORST jersey script in the league and just perpetuates the worst slang nickname in all of sports.

Diamondbacks >>> D<>bags

Although Ebbets Field is very, very good, they're not infallible. I've had some issues with Brewers stuff from them in the past.

Still, those are both gorgeous.
