Baseball and America have a rich history together, so it's only fitting that, as the country celebrates its 250th birthday on the Fourth of July on Saturday, the sport of baseball would join in the festivities. Baseball has traditionally jazzed up its on-field uniforms and caps for the Fourth of July, but this year's on-field kits are especially majestic for the semiquincentennial.
The jerseys feature a USA 250 patch on the left sleeve while the caps feature the same patch on the side. 29 clubs will don the special uniforms, while the Blue Jays, the only team in MLB based outside the United States, will wear its road uniforms alongside the special cap.
Here's a look at every team's cap for the Fourth of July.
