The Greenville Drive…
…will be rocking throwbacks soon! Here is a note from Mike Bonasia, marketing director of the Greenville Drive (the Red Sox’s single-A affiliate):
“One June 21st we’ll be celebrating Mill League baseball, which was a big part of the history of the textiles here in South Carolina and a precursor to the minor league system of today (our ballpark, Fluor Field, includes bricks from former textile mills in its design). We’ll be wearing 1950s-style uniforms — not as exact I would like to be (no stirrups, for one thing), but a very strong rendition when a budget is involved. Each player will have a different mill name on front of there jersey, with 30 different mills represented.”
Info swiped from the UniWatch blog. Seems like a cool idea, if I can get pictures I will and I’ll post some up.
