From “Bo” to “Butters,” “Sammy G” and “100 Miles Giles,” the Toronto Blue Jays will join the Players’ Weekend festivities in style.
Major League Baseball released the nicknames for all 30 teams on Tuesday, as well as a list of each organization’s Players’ Weekend Ambassador. Rookie superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — or “El K” for that weekend — will represent the Blue Jays, who will be at T-Mobile Park to take on the Seattle Mariners.
The league also announced that players will wear black-and-white uniforms during that weekend, as opposed to the stylized team-coloured jerseys from years past.
