MLB Players Weekend Jerseys: Starting Lineup, Bench, and Dishonorable Mentions
For one weekend out of the year, Major League Baseball allows its players to have fun. Players are permitted to customize their batting gloves, bats, cleats, and jerseys with flashy designs that embody their personality that is otherwise hidden the other 51 weeks of the year. As the prominent baseball writer at Barstool, I watched every game this weekend and composed a starting lineup and bench of the best jerseys I saw, as well as a Dishonorable Mention list for those that swung and missed on their one chance at showcasing their charisma.
