Today, April 15, is Jackie Robinson Day around Major League Baseball.

Cardinals pitchers have been seen wearing uniforms in Jupiter this past week, and one good thing that has happened is that Nike has now switched back to the old Majestic style shirt template.

Welcome back from hibernation. Pitchers and catchers have reported, baseball is back. And as usual, a new year, a new Spring Training cap. As posted by Ben Hochman on Instagram earlier this week, the new caps have a red crown and what looks like a black (or dark navy) brim. Flowers and an orange (grapefruit?) … Continue reading 2026 Spring Training Caps
