Look: MLB pays patriotic tribute to troops on Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance, which can be a hard one for families across the United States, some whom may have lost someone serving in the armed forces. But baseball is a powerful force across not only the U.S, but the entire globe, and it made sure to show it's patriotic face Monday in honor of the fallen troops whose efforts deserve to be paid tribute.
As Americans took the day off to remember the troops who died, a number of baseball's franchises and players made sure to do the same on social media.
We will always remember. We will always be thankful.#MemorialDay pic.twitter.com/dr2FxarVTT
