Four MiLB clubs to play during the eclipse
Unless you have been living underneath a rock, you will have read there will be a solar eclipse in the United States today. Minor League Baseball wouldn’t be Minor League Baseball when there would not be teams promoting this eclipse. Four teams will play during today’s eclipse. Those four are in the path of totality.
Three of thefour clubs sport a special jersey related to the sun eclipse. Those four teams are the Salem-Keizer Volcanos (A short season, San Francisco Giants), the Bowling Green HotRods (A full season, Tampa Bay Rays), the Nashville Sounds (AAA, Oakland Athletics) and the Columbia FireFlies (A full season, New York Mets).
The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes sport the jersey below:

The Columbia FireFlies will wear a glow in the dark jersey (like their caps):
Before the FireFlies’ game there will be a festival that consists of interactive exhibits from science, technology, engineering and math-centric organizations.
The Nashville Sounds will throw a special solar eclipse party. T-shirts (not related to the eclipse) will be handed to the first 2000 fans. The event will include music from the Nashville Symphony, science demonstrations with fun, hands-on activities from the Adventure Science Center, total solar eclipse viewing, and a separate Sounds baseball game to follow at 4:05 p.m.
