MLB will schedule ten day games on Labor Day to take advantage of people who are off work but they won't do a special hat or even acknowledge Labor Day as an actual holiday.

They’re afraid of recognizing labor, which includes the players.

Was a time when there were doubleheaders on the holidays. A Labor Day doubleheader would be the true gift to the working man. sabr.org/journal/arti...

They also see no disconnect in asking the entire stadium to stand for the emotional SU4C advertising promo for Mastercard during WS Game 4 while the players model for fans the persistent embrace of single-use plastic bottles.

Have to get six years of service time first to be acknowledged

All while DEFINITELY squirreling away a treasure chest so they can break the union when the current contract expires.

It's a crime that there aren't 15 doubleheaders today. Trump should whine to Manfred about that instead of child rapists not being in the Hall of Fame

It's May 1st? Labor Day is a capitalist appropriation of May Day to undermine international worker solidarity.

![There was disagreement among labor unions at this time about when a holiday celebrating workers should be, with some advocating for continued emphasis of the September march-and-picnic date while others sought the designation of the more politically charged date of May 1. Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[18] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative,[19] formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law that he signed in 1894.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:juqbdfdlpum3lrldqy2cded4/bafkreiakpoeptvnh6nx3tp6ku26f3piktv7edg3yk6svpxlhch47kso42e@jpeg)

Very interesting. Unrelated, but we need to start calling things "the ____ Affair" again. Its much better than putting -gate after everything. (however in this case, I'm guessing the Haymarket Massacre being rebranded as an "affair" was for censorship reasons

I went to a Nats game on Labor Day a dozen years ago and it was all about a “salute to the military.” Like every other game, in other words.

It may be for the wrong reasons, but the fewer "special" hats the better.

They are unapologetically, err proudly, anti-labor.

Didn’t in years past they do camo Labor Day. Just like they do Memorial Day?
