Ervin Santana Rocking a Darth Vader Jersey in Rehab Start


Minor League Baseball is known for their wacky pop culture jersey promotions in attempts to draw fans to the park, but have you ever wondered what it would look like if an MLB player had to don a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or Star Wars uniform?

After viewing these, I’m fairly certain the gimmick promotions should stay at the minor-league level.
Sidenote: Is it really a “rehab” start if the guy the is coming off a damn suspension?
