IGT 5/26/25 - White Sox @ Mets

[ashie62]

Here we go

[Edgy MD]

Will take that.

[ashie62]

1-1

[The Hot Corner]

Nimmo comes through to set the table.



Acuna then scores easily from third on a rather routine shallow sac fly by Soto. Acuna's speed is such a weapon.

[Edgy MD]

And that is all I will take for now.

[ashie62]

Baty put a ride into it. Tie game

[The Hot Corner]

Walk Off Time!!!

[Edgy MD]

Michael Taylor should not have yielded on that ball. He had a better beat on it than Robert.

[Edgy MD]

Great job by Torrens, but ... nobody knows how to bunt.

[ashie62]

Books!!

[Edgy MD]

Yay!! We edged the Sox!! WE EDGED THE SOX!!!

[The Hot Corner]

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Mets win 2-1 on a walk off fly by Lindor.

[metirish]

Nice win for the big Memorial day crowd

[kcmets]

Bookadoodles!!

[Frayed Knot]

Y'know what they call an often ugly game like that? A Win.

[Edgy MD]

Three and a third scoreless from the pen with three guys stranded by Buttisimo.

I tend to think of the poppy symbol as more an English (and therefore also Canadian) tradition for 'Remembrance (Veterans) Day' but not so much an American thing.

From https://uni-watch.com/2025/05/23/mlb-teams-to-wear-poppy-patches-for-memorial-day-2/https://uni-watch.com/2025/05/23/mlb-teams-to-wear-poppy-patches-for-memorial-day-2/



Per MLB:



On-Field & Uniform Elements



As an additional tribute to service men and women our Nation has lost, all on-field MLB personnel will wear the traditional Memorial red poppy on the left side of their jerseys with “Lest We Forget” language included.



The uniforms will not be sold at retail to the public.



Memorial Day themed base jewels and lineup cards will be used to commemorate the day.



As has been the case since 2019, the poppy-patched jerseys will not be available for retail sale.



All MLB teams playing on Memorial Day (Monday, May 26th) will also observe the National Moment of Remembrance. All Clubs whose games are active at 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) will temporarily pause for an extended moment of silence to participate in this unified moment of gratitude.







I am genuinely stunned that MLB does not take advantage of this holiday to make more hideous merchandise to sell.

[Channel9]

And actually the poppy patches are a very nice and understated honor. They could sell these jerseys which I bet a lot of people would buy and then donate the profits the veterans.



That would make too much sense though.

[Frayed Knot]

I tend to pay less attention to details of uniforms as compared to most of the geeks 'round these parts so the fact that I'm just now getting around to noticing something that has been going on for six years is perhaps the least surprising thing on this forum.
