Major League Baseball's top 4th of July team giveaways
Saturday marks America's 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the nation's pastime is preparing accordingly.
Every MLB team will play on the holiday with home squads coming prepared with special giveaways for fans. There are patriotic caps, shirts and jerseys. The Houston Astros have two separate items for fans. The Kansas City Royals might steal the show with a Bobby Witt Jr.-themed bobblehead.
Due to schedules, some clubs don't have home games near July 4, therefore, their giveaways came earlier. For example, the Chicago White Sox handed out an America 250th homage T-shirt to the first 15,000 fans at their June 27 game. The New York Mets had a special America 250 Mr. and Mrs. Met T-shirt on the same day.
Regardless, teams made sure to add a festive feel to their holiday matchups. Here are all the 4th of July specific giveaways across the league, but not every team will participate.
