‘Star Wars’ jerseys are all the rage among minor-league baseball teams
May 4 is a day for an uptick in the sales of avocados and tequila ahead of Cinco de Mayo.
May The Fourth is also a day that “Star Wars” enthusiasts celebrate because it sounds a lot like May The Force (Be With You). In honor of the “Star Wars” fans, here’s a look at some minor-league baseball teams that are planning to wear special uniforms that I’m guessing have been approved by George Lucas.
All of these jerseys were planned a long, long time ago, but teams won’t wear them for a while.
Las Vegas will be going with a generic look:
