The Giants and Cardinals will be wearing Negro League throwback uniforms for the MLB at Rickwood Field game... The threads will serve as a tribute to the San Francisco Sea Lions and St. Louis Stars Negro Leagues teams.
Despite the team's Sea Lion moniker, their jerseys feature a bear -- a result of using recycled uniforms from the now-disbanded San Francisco Cubs organization.
The game at the historic Rickwood Field comes just a couple of weeks after Negro League statistics officially were integrated into MLB record books, ensuring a key part of professional baseball's past is remembered moving forward.
As the Giants and Cardinals face off next week in their throwbacks, it will serve as yet another reminder of just how far baseball has come.
