Sacramento recently hosted a remarkable celebration of baseball heritage and community impact: the Fifth Annual Honorary Negro League Baseball Game, held on September 21, 2025, at Sacramento State’s John Smith Field. The event has become a premier platform for honoring the legacy of the Negro Leagues while giving talented Black and Brown high school athletes a chance to showcase their skills for college and professional scouts.

Bridging History and Opportunity

The game was founded by Todd Sullivan, owner of Perfect Game Pitching Solutions, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing a gap in exposure and opportunity for young athletes in Northern and Central California, Sullivan created the game to connect promising players with scouts and college programs. Over its five-year history, the event has produced tangible results: at least one player annually has received a college scholarship or been selected for MLB Develops, turning local talent into real opportunities.

Players from across the region participate in teams adorned in classic Negro League jerseys, celebrating the rich history of Black baseball while competing at the highest level. In past years, jerseys have honored legendary teams like the Birmingham Black Barons and the Indianapolis Clowns, allowing players and fans alike to connect with the sport’s storied past.

Legendary Guests and Community Celebration

The Honorary Negro League Game attracts not just players, but baseball icons and community leaders. The 2025 edition featured legendary MLB figures Dusty Baker and Greg Vaughn, providing inspiration and guidance for the next generation of athletes. Beyond the diamond, the event has evolved into a full community celebration, including a Health Fair, support for Black-owned businesses, fundraising for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and engagement with local youth programs.

Organizers stress that the event is more than just a game—it’s a legacy tribute. Young athletes are reminded of the challenges and triumphs of the Negro League players who paved the way, creating a bridge between history and present-day opportunity.

Pro Merch Honors the Legacy

Fans of the Negro Leagues can now celebrate this history in style with the Pro Merch Negro Leagues Unisex ComfortWash® Garment Dyed Crewneck Sweatshirt collection. These vintage-inspired sweatshirts are made from a cotton-rich blended fleece, offering warmth without bulk, with a garment-dyed, retro finish that evokes the classic feel of Negro League uniforms.

More Than a Game

The Honorary Negro League Game is a celebration of diversity, talent, and the enduring spirit of baseball.

From walk-off wins to clinched divisions, here’s everything you need to know about last night’s action—and what’s on deck for today.


Phillies Clinch the NL East in Dramatic Fashion

The Philadelphia Phillies are officially the kings of the NL East. Last night, they delivered a wild 10th-inning comeback victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers to clinch the division title. Citizens Bank Park was electric as the Phillies battled back late, securing their crown in front of a roaring home crowd.

Adding to the good news, Trea Turner continues to make progress from his hamstring injury. Reports indicate he could return before the playoffs begin, giving Philadelphia another dangerous bat in an already loaded lineup. Phillies fans can start prepping for Red October in style—grab the latest Phillies playoff merch here and gear up for another deep postseason run.


Yankees Survive Bullpen Scare to Beat Twins

The New York Yankees nearly let one slip away after a shaky bullpen performance, but they ultimately held on to defeat the Minnesota Twins 10-9. After jumping out to a big lead early, the Yankees’ relievers surrendered run after run, making the game much closer than it ever needed to be. Still, a win is a win, and New York keeps pace as the postseason looms.

With stars like Aaron Judge leading the way, the Yankees are proving that even when things get dicey, they can still grind out victories. Fans in the Bronx know the drill—October is around the corner, and there’s no better time to stock up on official Yankees gear before the postseason kicks off.


Cubs Secure Playoff Spot With Statement Win

The Chicago Cubs are playoff bound. Facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Cubs managed to chase Cy Young favorite Paul Skenes early in the game, en route to a 4-1 victory. That win was more than just another notch in the standings—it officially secured their spot in the postseason.

Chicago’s pitching was sharp, the defense airtight, and the lineup timely against one of the game’s most dominant arms. With Wrigleyville buzzing, the Cubs look poised to make noise come October. You can feel the energy in the city—and you can show your support with Cubs postseason merch, a must-have for fans ready to rally.


Blue Jays Extend Lead in AL East

Don’t look now, but the Toronto Blue Jays are rolling. After edging out the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5, Toronto notched their sixth consecutive win, tightening their grip on the AL East division lead.

The Jays’ bats are heating up at the perfect time, and their bullpen has been able to lock down close games like last night’s. With momentum fully on their side, Toronto is making a strong push to not just reach the playoffs, but to enter as one of the league’s most dangerous teams. For Blue Jays Nation, it’s time to ride the wave—check out Blue Jays gear and represent as the postseason chase heats up.


Today’s MLB Matchups to Watch

The playoff picture continues to evolve, and Wednesday’s slate is packed with meaningful games:

  • Cubs at Pirates – 12:35 PM EDT
  • Yankees at Twins – 7:40 PM EDT
  • Plus more matchups across the league with postseason implications.

Every inning matters now, and every win shapes October’s bracket.


Final Thoughts

NFL Week 2 Pro Merch Report: Injuries, Fantasy Football Shakeups, and Game Predictions

The NFL season is already heating up, and Week 2 has delivered everything fans crave — injuries that shake up rosters, fantasy football pivots, surprise results, and storylines that could shape the season ahead. From quarterbacks going down to breakout stars on the rise, this week is a reminder that in football, anything can happen.

For fans and collectors looking to represent their team all season long, you can shop the full NFL collection at Pro Merch and gear up in style while keeping track of the action.


Major Injuries Changing the Landscape

Unfortunately, Week 2 has already delivered devastating injury news that will reshape teams both on the field and in fantasy lineups:

  • Brock Purdy (QB, 49ers): After toe and shoulder injuries in the opener, Purdy is sidelined 2–5 weeks. Mac Jones will get the nod against the Saints in his place.
  • George Kittle (TE, 49ers): A key weapon gone — Kittle heads to injured reserve with a hamstring issue, out until at least Week 6. This opens up opportunities for fantasy managers to look elsewhere.
  • Jayden Reed (WR, Packers): The rookie suffered a broken collarbone in Green Bay’s win over Washington. He’ll undergo surgery and hopes to return in November.
  • Austin Ekeler (RB, Commanders): The Commanders’ offense takes a major hit as Ekeler is out for the season with a torn Achilles.
  • Deatrich Wise Jr. (DE, Commanders): Another blow for Washington as their defensive end is out for the season with a quad injury.
  • Brock Bowers (TE, Raiders): Questionable for Monday night against the Chargers with a knee injury — fantasy managers should monitor closely.
  • Elijah Molden (DB, Chargers) & Denzel Perryman (LB, Chargers): Both ruled out of Monday night’s matchup against the Raiders due to hamstring and ankle issues, further depleting Los Angeles’ defense.

These injuries aren’t just big for teams — they’re massive for fantasy football and betting markets heading into Week 2.


Fantasy Football Outlook: Start, Sit, Sleepers & DFS

With injuries reshaping lineups, Week 2 fantasy football strategy requires sharp pivots:

  • Start ’Em:
    • Juwan Johnson (TE, Saints): With Kittle sidelined, Johnson becomes a strong streaming option.
    • Keon Coleman (WR, Bills): After a promising Week 1, Coleman is quickly earning trust as a reliable flex play.
  • Sit ’Em:
    • Cam Ward (QB, Titans): Facing a fierce Rams defensive front, Ward is better left on the bench this week.
  • Sleepers to Watch:
    • Zach Charbonnet (RB, Seahawks): Could carve out more touches in Seattle’s backfield.
    • Troy Franklin (WR, Broncos): A sneaky pick for deeper leagues looking for a spark.
  • DFS Picks:
    • Joe Burrow (QB, Bengals): A strong rebound candidate with upside in daily lineups.
    • Malik Nabers (WR, Giants): His explosive playmaking makes him a smart DFS gamble.

Week 2 Game Predictions & Early Results

Thursday night set the tone with a tough but costly win for Green Bay:

  • Packers 27, Commanders 18: The Packers move to 2-0 but lose Jayden Reed and see Ekeler go down for Washington. A bittersweet victory with major season-long implications.

Looking ahead to the weekend matchups:

  • Cowboys (-6) vs. Giants: Dallas remains the favorite at home, though their offense is still looking to click. New York’s injuries on the offensive line could tip the scales further.
  • Patriots over Dolphins: Analysts are eyeing a potential upset, with New England’s defense possibly keying on slowing Miami’s high-speed offense.
  • Buccaneers over Texans: Another upset watch, with Tampa Bay looking stronger than many predicted.

Other Week 2 Storylines to Watch

  • Justin Fields (Jets QB): After a breakout Week 1 against Pittsburgh, Fields is now auditioning to prove he’s a top fantasy QB against the Bills.
  • Colts QB Situation: The battle between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson is heating up — preseason tension is carrying into the regular season.
  • Chiefs Bounce-Back Watch: Kansas City sits at the bottom of the AFC West after a Week 1 divisional loss. Many analysts aren’t panicking, but Week 2 will be a crucial litmus test.

The Bottom Line

Week 2 of the NFL season is already packed with drama — from game-changing injuries to fantasy football shakeups and surprising predictions. Every matchup feels like it could shift the narrative for playoff contenders and fantasy managers alike.

As the action unfolds, make sure you’re not just watching but also repping your team with official gear. Explore the full NFL Pro Merch collection and get the jerseys, hoodies, and accessories you need to show your colors all season long.

Pro Merch NFL Week 1 Results & Storylines: Comebacks, Controversy, and Top Players to Watch in 2025

The 2025 NFL season kicked off with a wild Week 1 full of dramatic finishes, breakout performances, and fresh storylines that will shape the months ahead. Fans were treated to everything from nail-biting comebacks and controversial calls to rookies making an immediate impact on the field. It was the perfect reminder of why the NFL reigns supreme in American sports—and why this season already feels like one for the history books.

Veterans wasted no time proving they still belong at the top of the league. Derrick Henry, now in a Ravens uniform, bulldozed his way to 169 rushing yards and two touchdowns, setting the tone for Baltimore despite their heartbreaking loss to Buffalo. Aaron Rodgers, wearing black and gold for the Pittsburgh Steelers, delivered in a shootout against the Jets, giving Steelers fans a glimpse of how far this team could go under his leadership. At the same time, fresh faces like Micah Parsons with the Packers and Daniel Jones with the Colts looked like they’d been in their new homes for years. Parsons was a defensive nightmare in his Green Bay debut, while Jones silenced doubts by leading Indianapolis to a commanding 33-8 win over Miami.

The week’s slate of games wasn’t short on drama. The Bills’ 41-40 comeback over the Ravens may go down as one of the best openers in recent memory, while the Chargers stunned the Chiefs in Brazil behind a relentless defensive effort. Kansas City now faces more than just a loss on the scoreboard—the controversial hit by Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart on Travis Kelce has already sparked heated debates across the league.

Rookies wasted no time introducing themselves. Colts tight end Tyler Warren emerged as a potential fantasy football steal with his strong debut, while Cardinals cornerback Will Johnson and Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger were standouts on defense. Caleb Williams, the highly anticipated rookie quarterback for the Bears, had a mixed debut. Flashes of brilliance were overshadowed by inconsistency in a 27-24 loss to the Vikings, leaving Chicago fans wondering how quickly he’ll adapt to Ben Johnson’s system.

Elsewhere, offensive struggles plagued a few franchises. The Lions’ offense sputtered against the Packers’ revamped defense, and the Buccaneers looked sluggish despite pulling out a win over Atlanta. Meanwhile, established stars on the receiving end reminded fans of their big-play ability. Zay Flowers led all receivers with 143 yards and a touchdown, followed closely by Puka Nacua’s 130 yards for the Rams.

Here’s how the full Week 1 scoreboard shook out across the league: Dallas fell just short to Philadelphia 23-20, the Raiders held off the Patriots 20-13, Arizona shocked New Orleans 20-13, the Jaguars cruised over Carolina 26-10, and Denver topped Tennessee 20-12. Green Bay’s 27-13 win over Detroit and San Francisco’s 17-13 victory over Seattle highlighted two NFC matchups with major playoff implications. Other results included the Rams outlasting Houston 14-9, Tampa Bay edging Atlanta 23-20, Washington dominating the Giants 21-6, Cincinnati squeaking past Cleveland 17-16, and Minnesota spoiling Chicago’s opener 27-24.

Week 1 wasn’t without its injuries, either. San Francisco suffered a tough blow with George Kittle sidelined due to a hamstring injury, while receiver Jauan Jennings also left with a shoulder issue. Atlanta’s Drake London is nursing a shoulder injury of his own, and Kansas City’s Xavier Worthy is dealing with a dislocated shoulder that will likely keep him out in Week 2. Raiders tight end Brock Bowers left his debut with a knee injury, leaving fans and fantasy managers anxious for updates.

It’s only Week 1, but the narratives are already stacking up. Can the Chiefs rebound after a rare early stumble? Will Daniel Jones turn the Colts into a surprise contender? And is Micah Parsons’ arrival in Green Bay the key to a deep NFC playoff run? The answers will come as the season unfolds, but fans don’t need to wait to show their colors. This is the perfect time to gear up for the season, whether you’re backing a veteran-led powerhouse or one of the league’s up-and-coming squads. Check out the latest officially licensed gear for your favorite team at Pro Merch. From jerseys and hats to collectibles and sideline apparel, it’s the ultimate way to rep your team all season long.

The 2025 NFL season is already off to a fast start, and if Week 1 was any indication, we’re in for a year filled with upsets, breakout stars, and unforgettable moments. Fans across the country are locked in, rivalries are heating up, and the road to the Super Bowl is already paved with surprises.

MLB Field of Dreams Game Returns in 2026: Phillies vs. Twins in Dyersville

Major League Baseball is bringing back one of its most magical traditions—the Field of Dreams Game—for the 2026 season. Set against the iconic cornfields of Dyersville, Iowa, the Philadelphia Phillies will take on the Minnesota Twins in a special August showcase that blends baseball history, Hollywood nostalgia, and one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Minnesota will serve as the home team in this highly anticipated matchup, with the exact date set to be revealed when MLB officially releases its 2026 schedule.

For fans who live and breathe baseball, the Field of Dreams Game isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s an experience unlike any other. And if you’re looking to gear up before first pitch, you can explore the latest MLB merchandise and team gear to show your Phillies or Twins pride on game day.


A Return to the Cornfields

This will be the third official MLB regular-season game played at the Field of Dreams site, which was made famous in the legendary 1989 film Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner. The ballpark itself was built right next to the movie set, creating a surreal connection between baseball fantasy and real-life MLB action.

  • The first Field of Dreams Game took place in 2021 and delivered one of the most dramatic finishes in recent memory. Tim Anderson’s walk-off home run into the Iowa night gave the Chicago White Sox a 9–8 win over the New York Yankees, immediately cementing the event as one of baseball’s great spectacles.
  • In 2022, the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4–2 in the second edition, highlighted by the Griffey family moment: Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. playing catch on the field, echoing the film’s unforgettable father-son connection.

Since then, the Field of Dreams site has undergone major transformations, including a sale to new ownership and the construction of permanent facilities for youth baseball and softball. MLB took a short hiatus from the event, instead staging alternate-site games at Rickwood Field in Alabama (honoring Negro League history) and even at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.

Preseason Action Heats Up: A Pro Merch NFL Week 3 Breakdown

As NFL Preseason Week 3 concludes this weekend, teams are in the final stretch, fine-tuning rosters and giving last-minute opportunities to players fighting for a spot. Running from Thursday, August 21st, to Saturday, August 23rd, this week marks the ultimate audition before the regular season kicks off on September 4th. Every play, every snap, and every touchdown can influence roster decisions.

For fans looking to show support during these crucial games, now is the perfect time to gear up with official NFL jerseys, hats, and apparel from Pro Merch. Check out the collection here.


Why Week 3 Matters

The final preseason week is more than just a tune-up. Coaches use these games to finalize:

  • Roster decisions: Teams must trim rosters to 53 players, making competition for the last spots fierce.
  • Depth charts: Backup and rookie performances can shift team plans for the first few weeks of the regular season.
  • Playbook implementation: This is the final opportunity to run full offensive and defensive schemes in live-game situations.
  • Injury management: Teams aim to evaluate players without risking significant injuries before the season opener.

Key Storylines Heading Into Week 3

1. Intense Roster Battles

Every position matters. For many teams, the difference between making the roster or being cut comes down to one or two plays. Versatility, special teams contributions, and consistent performance are crucial. Teams like the Jaguars and Commanders are especially focused on depth positions this week.

2. Quarterback Watch

While most starters are set, some teams still face decisions. The New Orleans Saints are the headline story here, with Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough competing for the starting quarterback role. Meanwhile, teams like the Panthers are giving backups a chance to shine as starters Bryce Young and Andy Dalton sit out. Fans should watch closely as these decisions can ripple throughout the season.

3. Rookie Development

Week 3 is a crucial evaluation period for rookies trying to secure playing time. Watch for:

  • Jaxson Dart (Giants): A quarterback showing potential to impact the roster depth chart.
  • Jalen Milroe (Seahawks): Another young QB looking to carve out a role.
  • Jacory Croskey-Merritt (Commanders): Emerging as a strong candidate in the running back rotation.
  • Shedeur Sanders (Browns): Expected to challenge for the backup role behind Joe Flacco.

Strong performances can not only solidify a roster spot but also influence fantasy football projections for the upcoming season.

4. Injury Management

Coaches are carefully balancing evaluating players and protecting their health. This week, some key veterans are sitting out to avoid injuries, while teams cautiously integrate returning players from offseason recoveries.

5. Offensive and Defensive Schemes

Week 3 acts as a full-scale rehearsal. Teams refine route combinations, test defensive coverages, and finalize snap counts. Observing these games gives fans insight into how teams might look in Week 1.


Players and Teams to Watch

Jacksonville Jaguars

Safeties are battling for final spots, and every defensive snap is critical. Watch for players showing versatility in coverage and special teams contributions.

Carolina Panthers

With Bryce Young and Andy Dalton resting, quarterbacks Jack Plummer and Bryce Perkins get their chance to impress. The outcome will influence the depth chart and potential mid-season rotation.

New Orleans Saints

The Rattler vs. Shough quarterback duel is a major storyline. Coaches will evaluate consistency, decision-making, and chemistry with receivers before locking in their starter.

Cleveland Browns

Shedeur Sanders is set to appear in the final preseason game, providing a potential boost in the quarterback depth chart behind Joe Flacco.

Washington Commanders

Jacory Croskey-Merritt is gaining attention as a rookie running back who could challenge Brian Robinson Jr. for significant playing time. His performance this week could make him a key offensive contributor.


Fantasy Football Implications

Week 3 performances can be pivotal for fantasy owners. Players earning meaningful snaps in preseason may:

  • Increase draft-day value
  • Solidify backup roles that lead to unexpected playing time during the season
  • Show chemistry with key starters, indicating potential big plays in early games

Rookies like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt are especially important for fantasy managers to track this week.


Predictions and Takeaways

As Week 3 wraps, expect:

  • Tight roster cuts: Several teams will make difficult decisions that could surprise fans.
  • Emerging rookies: A few unexpected stars may make rosters based on their Week 3 performance.
  • Injury monitoring: Teams will continue cautious player usage while finalizing game plans.

Honoring the Negro Leagues at Pro Merch: History, Recognition, and the Future of Black Baseball

The story of baseball cannot be told without the Negro Leagues. For decades, these leagues showcased some of the greatest talent the sport has ever seen, even as segregation kept their players out of Major League Baseball. Today, their impact is being honored in ways long overdue—both through MLB’s official recognition of their statistics and through expanded efforts to preserve their legacy.

At Pro Merch, we’re proud to celebrate the history of the game beyond the Major Leagues, offering gear and collectibles that honor legendary teams like the Kansas City Monarchs, Homestead Grays, and beyond. Just as these players broke barriers on the field, we believe their legacy should live on for generations of fans and players alike.


MLB Officially Recognizes Negro Leagues Statistics

On May 29, 2024, Major League Baseball made history by officially integrating Negro Leagues statistics into its record books. This decision recognized seven Negro Leagues that operated between 1920 and 1948 as “Major Leagues,” a monumental step in acknowledging the extraordinary skill and contributions of Black ballplayers who were excluded from MLB because of segregation.

The record books immediately changed:

  • Josh Gibson now stands as MLB’s all-time career leader in batting average (.372), slugging percentage (.718), and OPS (1.177). His .466 batting average in 1943 with the Homestead Grays is now considered the highest single-season average in MLB history.
  • Oscar Charleston, Jud Wilson, Turkey Stearnes, Buck Leonard, and Mule Suttles all rank among the greatest hitters in MLB’s statistical history.
  • On the pitching side, Satchel Paige’s 1.01 ERA for the 1944 Kansas City Monarchs is now the third-best single-season mark ever recorded.

This recognition not only restores rightful honor to these legends but also reshapes the way we view baseball’s past.


The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Expands

In Kansas City, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) is embarking on an ambitious $30 million expansion. The project will create a state-of-the-art facility triple the size of the current museum, located next to the Buck O’Neil Education and Research Center—the very site where the Negro National League was founded in 1920.

The expansion will also include a hotel and parking garage, forming a “Negro Leagues Campus” at the heart of Kansas City’s historic 18th & Vine Jazz District. Backed by significant contributions, including a $2 million grant from the MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation and $1 million from Bank of America, the project will further elevate the visibility and preservation of this vital chapter of American history.


Celebrating Leadership and Innovation

In addition to honoring players, the NLBM is shining a spotlight on leadership within the Negro Leagues. The museum recently launched its “Leaders & Innovators” campaign to recognize pioneering managers and executives often overlooked after MLB’s integration.

This campaign coincides with the 50th anniversary of Frank Robinson becoming MLB’s first full-time Black manager in 1975. A new exhibit, opened in May 2025, explores these stories of strategy, innovation, and perseverance—proof that the Negro Leagues shaped baseball far beyond the diamond.


The Decline of Black Representation in MLB

While the past is being recognized, the future of Black players in Major League Baseball remains a pressing issue. In 1991, nearly 20% of MLB players were Black. By 2023, that number had dropped below 7%.

Though 2025 saw a slight increase to 6.2%, the numbers remain low. MLB and the Players Association are working to reverse this decline through programs like the MLB Youth Academy, Breakthrough Series, DREAM Series, Nike RBI, and the Hank Aaron Invitational. These initiatives focus on expanding access, opportunity, and development for young Black athletes—a modern continuation of the trailblazing spirit of the Negro Leagues.


The Kansas City Monarchs Carry the Torch

Today, the Kansas City Monarchs live on as an independent baseball team, proudly carrying the name of one of the most storied franchises in Negro Leagues history. With players like outfielder Isiah Gilliam making an impact after returning from international play, the team continues to represent both competitive baseball and the enduring legacy of its namesake.

Fans can keep the spirit alive by supporting teams like the Monarchs and exploring exclusive Negro Leagues-inspired merchandise available at Pro Merch.


Keeping the Legacy Alive

The Negro Leagues represent resilience, innovation, and sheer excellence against impossible odds. With MLB’s integration of their statistics, the NLBM’s expansion, and continued efforts to increase Black representation in baseball, the importance of these leagues is finally being recognized on the scale they deserve.

At Pro Merch, we’re dedicated to honoring this history through authentic merchandise that helps fans connect with the stories and players who redefined the game. From jerseys to collectibles, every piece keeps their spirit alive—because the Negro Leagues were never just a footnote in baseball history; they are baseball history.
