The Toronto Blue Jays have retired last season's celebratory home run jacket but fans haven't seen the last of it just yet.
Right-handed starter Kevin Gausman said Sunday that the team plans to autograph the jacket and auction it off for charity.
"Some Blue Jays fan can have it in his man cave," Gausman added, according to Ethan Diamandas of Sports Illustrated.
Colloquially known as the "Barrio jacket," Jays hitters would wear it in the dugout in celebration of hitting a home run. The blue blazer featured patches for every country Jays players originate from.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that the jacket would be retired for the 2023 season and replaced by a new dugout celebration.
