— Carrie Muskat (@CarrieMuskat) September 1, 2014 These batting-practice jerseys honor Jackie Robinson West, the Chicago team that made it to the finals of the Little League World Series and stole our little hearts away.

It certainly is a crowd-pleasing idea. Bonus points for needling the White Sox and appropriating the feel-good story from their side of Chicago.
