The Inland Empire 66ers, a Minor League Baseball team based in San Bernardino, California, occasionally pay tribute to the rich history of Negro League Baseball by donning Negro League jerseys during special games or events. These jerseys are a nod to the Negro Leagues' significant contribution to baseball history and its impact on African American players.
66er jersey nights often include educational programs and exhibits to provide fans with a deeper understanding of the Negro Leagues and the trailblazing athletes who paved the way for future generations of baseball players. It's a meaningful way for the Inland Empire 66ers to celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity within the sport of baseball while paying homage to the heroes of the Negro Leagues.
