Minor league team channels R2D2

WASHINGTON – For those Star Wars fans who can’t wait for the new sequels to come out, you have an outlet for your enthusiasm this summer at a ballpark not too far, far away.

The Tampa Bay Rays Triple-A affiliate Durham Bulls will wear “R2D2” style jerseys May 4.

The team will even auction off a few of the jerseys to benefit the Autism Society of North Carolina.

And yes, it’s “May the 4th” as in “May the fourth be with you.”

See photos of the jerseys at MiLB.com.
