SEATTLE — When Major League Baseball recently released the designs and color schemes for the uniforms worn in the 2023 All-Star Game, featuring an American League jersey that is mostly teal with hints of navy blue, the running joke among fans, many of them local, on Twitter was some variation of:
"It's the closest that Seattle will ever get to seeing Shohei Ohtani in a Mariners uniform at T-Mobile Park."
To be fair, the Mariners would point out that their secondary color to navy blue has always been Northwest green, not teal, but the point, or in this case the punchline, still stands.
