So, the Ports are staging a Salute to the Beatles Night on Saturday with a fireworks finale….
In truly hip style, the players will wear colorfully psychedelic, peace-and-love era uniform tops….
“We haven’t done the Beatles before,” said Elaine Jastineau of OT Sports, the Burlington, N.C., company where Adam McCauley designed the handcrafted double-knit jerseys. “We’ve done ‘Star Wars’ nights, Led Zeppelin, ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ and tuxedo tops when a couple got married at the ballpark. We just Google some album-cover stuff, throw it together on the jersey, sometimes tweak it a bit and go from there. To me, it looks very ’70s-ish. The clothes people wore back then had a lot of wild, patterned, flowered stuff.”
LSD not included, presumably. There’s a lot of good Minor League baseball-y stuff in that article so it’s probably worth checking out, but here’s what the jerseys look like if you don’t:
Yikes. Not sure if they’re planning on printing names on the top, but if I were a Stockton Port I’d definitely attempt to change my last name to “Mustard” for the day.

There is a cricketer called Phil Mustard who often keeps wicket for Graham Onions (!), and coincidentally he is in a Beatles-related photo here: http://www.cricinfo.com/countycricket2008/content/image/345511.html
Awesome. If I lived in London I’d probably restage the Abbey Road cover weekly. Do we know if Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park or shaves in the dark, tryin’ to save paper?
Also, fun fact: When I was in eighth grade, I took off my shoes and socks before posing for any photo that would be in the middle-school yearbook. I hoped it would fuel speculation that I was dead. My bare feet only showed up in one shot, though, and I don’t think anyone but me and my friends noticed.
He looks like he was shaving in the dark here, and took off a chunk of his nose! He has, at minimum, had a haircut in the dark.
The Brooklyn Cyclones are doing some sort of tie-dye jerseys in celebration of their Furthur concert this July – I don’t know when the game is, but that’s a sight worth checking out.
