From making baseballs out of tape to putting tape on his custom big league cleats 🙌 William Contreras has not forgotten Via @MLB on X

What happened: Contreras added tape to custom cleats as a tribute to the baseballs he made from paper and tape during childhood. He wore the design during MLB Players' Weekend.

Why it matters: Players' Weekend gives players room to reflect their identities through custom equipment. The tribute follows Contreras' third All-Star selection earlier this summer.

What to watch: Contreras returns to the regular-season schedule after the three-day showcase.
