From May 15 through May 17 fans can purchase olive‑green caps and matching socks that bear each club’s logo embroidered on the front and a U.S. flag patch stitched onto the side.

All proceeds from the collection are being donated to MLB Charities, the league’s nonprofit arm that supports military families and community programs.

The initiative is being rolled out in partnership with Fanatics, the sports‑licensed retailer that will handle distribution through its online platform.
