MLB players wore amazing custom cleats for Players Weekend

It’s MLB Players Weekend, which means players around the league are allowed to express themselves with custom gear, and wear nicknames on the back of their jerseys. Players took the opportunity to create some incredibly creative and eye-catching cleats.

Pittsburgh’s Trevor Williams’ cleats, pictured above, featured an incredible illustration of him Naruto-running into Area 51, a reference to the viral “Storm Area 51” Facebook group.
