I came across this story this morning, and I feel like it would be a crime not to share. The Lakewood BlueClaws, a Class A affiliate of the Phillies, will be wearing these jerseys for this Saturday’s game against the West Virginia Power.
Admittedly, these kind of look like something a grandma would wear, but being a cat person, it does make me happy to see something like this. Additional information about the CATurday event can be found on the BlueClaws website here.
But the best part about that first story from Cut4 (at least, in my opinion) is at the end of the story text. Back in March Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals meowed his way through an in-game interview.
Enjoy!
Look, ballplayers tend to scratch their crotch now and then, and I can live with that, but any member of the Blueclaws start to groom themselves, and you gotta toss ’em.
HAHAHAHA! Oh dear, you just put an image in my head that I’m going to struggle with all day.
I have a cat. So what’s the problem? 🙂
BTW I believe Bloggess has cats also. Make sure she sees this. 🙂

Just left her a message. Thanks, v! 🙂
Thanks for the head’s up on the “caturday” jerseys! They look like something someone’s grandmother would wear, don’t you think?
I just finished my annual take down of some ridiculous team jerseys and I’m sort of sad they didn’t announce this one sooner, because it should have had a spot on my worst list. In any event, it may not be THE worst, but it’s no Taco Tuesday jersey in Fresno! https://thebaseballbloggess.com/2016/06/29/300-pounds-of-baseball-uniforms/
the life of marketeers and jersey designers has never enjoyed a better era.
