Armed Forces Day is on May 18 and is celebrated on the third Saturday of May each year. A jersey patch is also on all jerseys and the side of the caps features an emblem to represent all five branches of the military.
Per MLB.com, the royalties earned on the sale of the items this weekend will be donated to military-focused charities.
