Teams to wear Stars and Stripes caps July Fourth Weekend, Sept. 11

 

NEW YORK -- All 30 teams will wear special Stars & Stripes caps during games on the Fourth of July weekend and on Sept. 11 as part of a "Welcome Back Veterans" program created by New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon.

The Welcome Back Veterans logo will be on bases used that weekend. Wilpon said he hopes the campaign will raise $100 million.

Major League Baseball plans to donate a portion of the revenue from the sale of the special caps. Baseball spokesman Rich Levin would not specify how much money from the cap sales would be donated.
