Pro Merch Launches New Gear as Boone Brothers Renew the Boone Bowl in Yankees-Rangers Clash, 122.9 MPH Home Run, Memorial Day MLB Check-In, High School, College & More

by BaseballMLB

A brand-new drop has just landed in Pro Merch, and it celebrates one of the most compelling storylines of the 2025 MLB season: the renewal of the Boone Bowl, as Yankees manager Aaron Boone faced off against his brother, Rangers hitting coach Bret Boone, for the first time in their post-playing careers.

This rare baseball family rivalry inspired a special Boone Bowl Merch Collection, now available in Pro Merch, commemorating the moment two baseball lifers clashed in the dugouts at Yankee Stadium.

The Boone Bowl Returns – And It’s Now in Pro Merch

This week, fans witnessed a unique chapter in baseball history as Aaron and Bret Boone brought their family rivalry back to life—not as players, but as managers on opposing sides. The last time these two shared a field, it was as All-Star-level infielders. This time, they squared off from the top steps of the Yankees and Rangers dugouts.

To mark the moment, the Boone Bowl Collection includes:

  • “Boone Bowl 2025” Rivalry Tee
  • Split Dugout Hat (Yankees navy front, Rangers red back)
  • Limited-Edition Boone Brothers Baseball Card Set
  • Custom Dueling Dugouts Long Sleeve

This is a limited-run release—available now exclusively in Pro Merch.

Oneil Cruz Crushes 122.9 MPH Home Run, Breaks Statcast Record

Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz continues to redefine what’s possible at the plate. On Tuesday, Cruz launched a home run that left his bat at 122.9 mph, making it the hardest-hit ball ever recorded by Statcast since it began tracking in 2015.

The blast landed in the Allegheny River, and shattered Cruz’s own previous mark. The swing sent shockwaves through the league and has officially been etched into baseball history.

Memorial Day MLB Check-In: Surprises, Standings, and Predictions

As the 2025 season hits the Memorial Day milestone, it’s time to take stock of the standings and see who’s overachieving—and who’s falling short.

  • Detroit has surged to the No. 1 spot, overtaking two previously dominant National League clubs.
  • The Yankees, Orioles, and Mariners are all jostling for position in a crowded American League race.
  • The Mets and Dodgers, who met in last year’s NLCS, are gearing up for another high-stakes showdown this week that could shape the postseason bracket.

Our projections suggest that while some early-season favorites are slipping, a few dark horses are heating up just in time.

What Baseball Has Taught Us by Memorial Day 2025

Several lessons have emerged by the Memorial Day checkpoint in the season:

  • Prospects need time – The Red Sox called up top prospect Marcelo Mayer, and while the hype is real, early matchups against elite pitching will be a challenge.
  • Consistency matters – Teams that stay healthy and avoid bullpen meltdowns are gaining ground.
  • Power and speed rule – The league is seeing record HR and stolen base totals across both leagues.

Gordon High School Battles Past Tornado Damage to Reach Regional Finals

In a story that transcends sports, the Gordon High School baseball team in Texas is rewriting what it means to persevere. After tornadoes damaged much of the area, including parts of the school, the baseball team managed to reach the regional finals.

“It’s bigger than baseball,” said head coach Ligon West.
“To see our student-athletes—from football to basketball to baseball—step up in the middle of chaos is something I’ll never forget.”

Senior Landon McDonald summed up the experience:

“It’s been hard to focus on baseball with everything going on, but we’re still out here, and we’re playing to win.”

Their run has become a symbol of strength for the entire Gordon ISD community.

Mets and Dodgers Ready for High-Stakes NL Clash

This week brings a playoff-caliber showdown between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers, the two teams that battled in last year’s National League Championship Series.

Both teams have World Series aspirations, and this series could preview another October collision. Eyes are on the pitching duels, bullpen depth, and which stars will deliver in the clutch.

Oregon Ducks Begin Big Ten Tournament With Win

The Oregon Ducks kicked off their Big Ten baseball tournament run with a strong victory over Michigan State. While their tournament debut had a rocky start, they responded quickly and are poised for a deep run.

Meanwhile, their upcoming matchup with Nebraska has been rescheduled. Fans looking to follow the action live should check for updated game times and streaming details.

New Jersey Team Becomes Road Warriors Without Home Field in 2025

A baseball team in New Jersey has taken on the ultimate challenge: competing in the 2025 season without a true home field. They’ve become true “Road Warriors”, traveling for every game, using buses as locker rooms, and leaning into a gritty, travel-first mentality.

“It’s frustrating, but we’ve built toughness,” said one team member.
“It’s a baseball lesson—how to adapt, how to survive.”

This storyline echoes baseball’s past, from the Kansas City Athletics to the Futures Collegiate Baseball League. It’s a powerful example of the sport’s tradition of resilience.

Commissioner Rob Manfred Sparks Controversy Over Hall of Fame Debate

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred reignited one of the sport’s longest-running debates: eligibility for the Baseball Hall of Fame, particularly as it relates to players banned from the game.

The comparison was drawn back to 1920, when Kenesaw Mountain Landis became baseball’s first commissioner and handed down decisions that still echo today.

The current discussion involves not just history, but how the game chooses to remember its most controversial figures. The debate continues among fans and writers alike.

Shop the Latest in Pro Merch: Weekly Highlights

Now Available:

  • Boone Bowl 2025 Collection
  • Oneil Cruz 122.9 MPH Home Run Poster
  • Marcelo Mayer “Called Up” Rookie Shirt
  • Road Warriors Grit Pack

Are the Oakland A’s Really Playoff Contenders in 2025? Let’s Talk Baseball’s Biggest Surprise and How to Rep the Pro Merch Green and Gold with Pride Collections

by BaseballMLBPro Merch

The 2025 MLB season is off to a wild start, and one of the biggest shockers so far? The Oakland Athletics are suddenly in the playoff conversation — and they’re not just flirting with a Wild Card spot, they’re competing like they belong in October.

Let that sink in.

Yes, the same A’s team that many wrote off before the season even started is turning heads, challenging powerhouses, and winning series. The question on everyone’s mind now: Are the A’s for real?

At Pro-Merch, we’re not just following the A’s momentum — we’re amplifying it. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just now jumping on the Green and Gold bandwagon (no judgment — there’s always room), now’s the time to rep Oakland with style.

🟢 The Early Verdict: Oakland’s Rebuild Is Ahead of Schedule

It’s not just luck. The A’s have quietly assembled a hungry, gritty roster that plays with nothing to lose — and that’s making them dangerous. From breakout performances on the mound to surprising clutch hitting, Oakland is executing the fundamentals, grinding out wins, and silencing the skeptics.

What makes this season especially exciting:

  • Strong bullpen performances keeping them in close games
  • Emerging stars stepping up when it matters most
  • Team chemistry that can’t be faked or forced
  • A coaching staff that’s getting the most out of young talent

The result? A team that feels like it’s peaking earlier than anyone predicted — and doing it without flashy contracts or big market buzz. This is pure, old-school baseball with a modern twist.

And if this is how they’re playing in May… just imagine what October could look like.

⚾ The Culture of the A’s: Grit, Grind, and Green

Oakland baseball has never been about glitz. It’s about grit, history, and resilience. From the “Moneyball” era to the underdog playoff runs, the A’s are a symbol of doing more with less — and 2025 is proving once again that heart, hustle, and hustle can’t be bought.

Wearing A’s gear this year means more. It means believing in the rebuild. It means supporting a team that’s battling the odds and demanding respect. It means representing a city that knows how to fight — and never backs down.

If you’re all in on this season’s Cinderella story, then wear that green and gold like you mean it.
