The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros displayed Earth Day awareness this past Tuesday. The two clubs took different routes, but both clubs showed they cared. I am surprised that more teams didn’t take part in the observance simply because it was being pushed by Major League Baseball.

In a nice gesture, the Boston Red Sox wore “Go Green” patches on their left sleeves in Tuesday night’s game against the Angels. The design is pretty cool, a nice initiative by the team to make a conscious effort for Earth Day.

Over in the National League the Houston Astros wore green hats in observance of Earth Day. The caps had a message on the side that read “Play Green”. Again just like the Red Sox I find it neat to see teams making a bit of an effort to do something nice on a day like Earth Day.

All in all, I really love what the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros did. Hopefully, the actions of these two clubs start a movement for other teams to follow next year. The Red Sox “Go Green” jersey can be purchased at jersey-joe.com
