Major League Baseball announced Wednesday the details of Players Weekend, which will take place on August 25 through 27.
"Following the theme of the weekend's connection to youth baseball, the jerseys' right sleeves will have logos meant to symbolize the development of each player".
Let's check some of those Twins jerseys.

Facebook killed its high school-only Snapchat clone and nobody noticed
That's because its Instagram app's "Stories" feature now has 250 million daily users, compared to Snapchat's 166 million. The app expanded to Android in October 2016 but never achieved mass adoption.
The team's Twitter account on Wednesday released an image with the player nicknames on the new jerseys for "Players' Weekend". Players will also be able to wear elaborate-colored shoes, batting gloves, wristbands, etc. Furthermore, players will be allowed to wear t-shirts highlighting charities during pregame warmups, and each teams' jerseys will be inspired by youth-league uniforms.
If you're more interested in the real deal, game-worn player jerseys will be auctioned off online here. "The collective desire to express their diverse interests and backgrounds is what motivated players to lobby for the creation of Players Weekend". The "evolution" patch has a blank space where players can write in someone they wish to thank who helped them get to the big leagues. Meanwhile, the new-look Giants will be on display in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. A's owner Charles Finley encouraged his players to do it back in the 1960s and '70s, most of the Braves did it in 1976 and there have been other examples scattered thoughout Major League Baseball history. "Anything we can do is pretty rewarding".
Players will support the event by posting to social media using #PlayersWeekend. That will also be the weekend Josh Phegley becomes "PTBNL".
Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha, who will go with "Wach" (and not Pedro Martinez's "Wacha-Wacha"), grew up in Texas playing in the Dixie Youth Baseball Association. "It's something different. I don't think it'll be a bad thing".
