The Jerseys will be auctioned off on the fourth of July, and all money raised will be going to Honor Flight of Northeast Indiana, according to the Tincaps official twitter page.
Memorial Day truly is an amazing one. With every team at every level of baseball sporting something fitting on their uniform. While the Toronto Blue Jays Canadien inspired caps are impressive, the Tincaps’ uniforms may just be the coolest thing you’ll see on Memorial day.
If the uniforms aren’t inspiration enough for fans to go see the game, the game should be a pretty good one too.
"“Last night: In the opener of a three-game series, the TinCaps got solid starting pitching and a pair of home runs to notch an 8-4 win in the only Sunday night game of the year at Parkview Field. Kyle Lloyd, who did not make the Opening Day roster, hurled six innings of two-run ball for his second win, while Ryan Miller and Jake Bauers each went deep, helping the TinCaps even the season series with Dayton, 2-2. A TinCaps win would be their 7th in their last 8 games at home… Give them a 3-2 lead in their season series with Dayton.” According to the Tincaps game preview."
