Twins players rocking business casual look for scoreboard photos (pics)
Baseball players traditionally are adorned in their team’s uniform for the photographs displayed on in-arena scoreboards during their at-bats. The Minnesota Twins flipped that tradition on its head by having the ballplayers rock a look that is much more befitting a business casual style spotted in virtually every office in the country.
Evidence of the radical departure from scoreboard photo convention was on full display during the team’s season-opening homestand this week at Target Field.

Huh. The players look like they jumped right out of a Kohl’s mailer or something. Weird.
Outfielder Shane Robinson’s photo appears to be the only pic that flew in the face of the new concept.
Apparently, when Shane Robinson is being casual, he likes to wear his Twins jersey and carry a bat. pic.twitter.com/PL3stji6yQ

Huh. Again, weird.
