Red Sox and Cubs fans will pack Fenway Park this weekend just like they did in 1918, the last time the two teams met in baseball's oldest ballpark. And on Saturday night, they'll look just like they did back then.
That's because the two teams will "turn back the clock" on Saturday night and will wear the throwback jerseys that the two teams wore in the 1918 World Series.
Sox fans may have a difficult time recognizing their team, as Boston will don off-white jerseys with no lettering. They will also wear off-white pants, and the only hint of color will be the socks, which will have a white-red-white pattern.
The Cubs, who often changed their road jerseys back in the early 1900s, will be wearing grey pinstripes with the word "Cubs" on the uniform.They'll also wear navy blue pinstriped hats that will have no lettering on them.
The Red Sox also announced that there will be " additional elements of the Saturday pregame ceremony and game presentation that will be reminiscent of the fan' experience in 1918."
Each Red Sox player will sign his uniform, and they will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Red Sox Foundation.
