Home Town Baseball.

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the Uni Watch articles on the ESPN website. I read it occasionally because I'm a graphic design nerd and I'm always eager to see what's new in sports logos and uniforms.

There's been an ongoing discussion on the Uni Watch website about Minor League Baseball teams and they're promotional schedules. On very special occasions, teams will wear alternate uniforms in spirit of the theme of the night. Some of these include the Tie-Dye Night for the Everett Aquasox and Star Wars Night for the West Michigan Whitecaps. My personal favorite: Redneck Night for the Kansas City T-Bones.


That got me thinking, "what do the Fort Worth Cats have to offer?"


Unfortunately for all of us, I'm writing this post too late in the season. We've already missed the Cats' own rendition of Star Wars Night (July 5), Hogs & Hot Rods (June 17), and the ever so popular Mullet Night (July 8). But looking ahead, we still have Elvis & The Oldies Night (August 7) and the Las Vegas Suitcase Party (August 23) to look forward to.

Even if it's not a promotional night, Cats games are definitely worth going to. Only people that love baseball show up to Minor League games, and the Cats are exceptionally good. They are currently 14-5 this season, unlike our under 500 Rangers. Tickets are only 4 bucks for a game and it's in town. So grab your cracker jacks and head out to LaGrave Field for some baseball without the mega million contracts.
