RICHMOND, Va. -- Baseball and the Fourth of July have always been intrinsically linked in my mind. Sure, sometimes events and activities get in the way and you’re unable to pay too close attention to the game… but it’s always comforting to know it’s there if you need it.
So imagine my disappointment when I took a look at the schedule and discovered that the PBC is somehow off that day in 2022! Thankfully, my disappointment only lasted until I got a look at the hideous headwear that MLB is forcing upon its players this Independence Day, a “patriotic”, paintbrush-motif “special event cap" that is sure to clash garishly with every uniform it’s paired with.
If my favorite team being off on the holiday means that they’ll never take the field in these monstrosities, I’ll consider it a massive success!
