Players will don gear centered around three themes: off-field interests, causes and appreciation. Players are encouraged to celebrate their passions away from baseball, promote charities and community initiatives, and showcase their influences.<\/p>\n
The event will culminate Sunday with the Little League Classic between the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets Williamsport, Pennsylvania. From customized bats to special cleats, here are examples of the coolest gear and tributes from the 2025 edition of Players’ Weekend.<\/p>\n
