The Skeeters will once again be wearing their special-edition "Star Wars" uniforms, along with the aforementioned in-game promotional elements. The Skeeters will be holding a silent auction for the game-worn, special-edition "Star Wars" jerseys, with proceeds going to the Skeeters Baseball Foundation.
