Of the fifteen MLB games played Sunday, 10 featured at least one of the teams in an alternate jersey, some more colorful than others, with only five games played with the traditional home whites and road grays.
Oh, and in daylight, they looked pretty sweet as well.
It got us thinking; when the Astros move to the A.L. West next season creating two, 15-team leagues and ensuring that there will always be an inter-league matchup when the 2013 schedule is released, how often when all 30 teams play the same day (usually each day other than Mondays and Thursdays), will there be matchups of both teams in conventional white and gray, versus games in which at least one of the two teams, if not both, are in an alternate top?
Could it average as high as 10 of the 15 games being played on any given day?
One other alternate jersey note; the teal strikes a no-no. That was an unusual outcome to say the least Friday night at Safeco Field as six Mariner pitchers combined to no-hit the impressive Dodgers. And, as is customary for a Friday night home game, the M’s donned the teal jerseys. This season, making a return after a 10-year absence, the accompanying teal-billed caps which were worn regularly from 1993-2002, and were part of the Mariners historical pitching night.
