Is this the first time a player had the game's date on the back of his jersey?
If you watched the Cardinals and Dodgers series finale on Sunday, you would have seen Dustin May — a former Dodger himself who received a World Series ring pregame — navigate through traffic to complete six quality innings.
He did so while donning the No. 3 on his uniform, this being the first time he’s worn the number in his career after featuring No. 85 in his first nine years. Coincidentally, Sunday’s date was … May 3.
So, Dustin May pitched on May 3 with May 3 on his uniform. Insane, right?
We all love improbable baseball happenings like this one. But this is not the only time it’s happened! In fact, it happened twice on the same day back in 1968.
Rotation shakeup means Cardinals' Dustin May will pitch on convenient date
The St. Louis Cardinals have had a solid start to their grueling 17-game stretch, but welcome the juggernaut Los Angeles Dodgers into town for a three-game series over the weekend. Beyond the much-anticipated return of Katie Woo to St. Louis, the spot start by Hunter Dobbins in Pittsburgh makes for a fun Sunday projected pitching matchup.
Both teams will come into the series sitting above .500, which of course is expected for the high-spending Dodgers, but with the Cardinals expected to be in the beginning stages of a rebuild, their early-season performance has been a welcome surprise. The payroll between the two teams differs by more than $200 million this year, but both organizations are putting a product on the field that continues to bring excitement to the fanbase. That energy will continue at Busch Stadium as the Cardinals host the Dodgers, even though they will (thankfully) miss out on seeing Shohei Ohtani pitch in the series. While they will not be treated to the two-way sensation on the mound, there is still a fun story for Sunday's starting pitcher, Dustin May.

May efficient vs. former club, but Cards' win streak snapped at six
ST. LOUIS — The weekend at Busch Stadium began with Cardinals starter Dustin May, for perhaps the final time, decked out in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.
During Friday’s batting practice, May donned the Dodger blue set for a photo op following a small pregame ceremony during which the former pitcher of the reigning champs received his World Series ring.
Two days later, on Sunday afternoon, May made it his aim to put one over on the franchise that drafted him in the third round a decade ago. But May’s quality start wasn’t enough to beat the Dodgers as the Cardinals dropped the series finale, 4-1, to halt a six-game winning streak.
