There have been plenty of weird baseball uniforms over the years, but the Savannah Bananas (of the collegiate summer Coastal Plain League) took that to a new level Tuesday. The Bananas decided to wear kilts for their entire game against the Macon Bacon:
MUST SEE! @TheSavBananas to wear kilts during St. Patrick's Day themed game against @GoMaconBacon tonight. Bananas are believed to be first team in world to wear kilts in regulation game. #SCtop10 @WJCLNews @espn @MLB @CPLBaseball @FOXSports @ABC pic.twitter.com/DtoO73ojkX

No we were not joking. They are wearing kilts the whole game. First pitch in a kilt. pic.twitter.com/s1Vc252hBa

Well, that’s certainly something. But hey, if kilts were successful military attire for centuries, they can be successful baseball attire too. However, they may not be all that weather-suited:
It’s raining men!
Just kidding.
But it is raining.

At any rate, this is certainly an interesting and unusual move by the Bananas, and it’s one of the few things that hasn’t been seen in baseball regularly.
