The Mets have a new Single-A affiliate this year, the Columbia (S.C.) Fireflies, and you could say all of these players have a bright future.
At least while they’re with the Fireflies. That’s because the team on Wednesday unveiled new glow-in-the-dark uniforms and caps players will wear during the 2016 season.

The team is playing its first season in Columbia after 32 years in Savannah. The team had been known as the Sand Gnats for the past 20 seasons (just try coming up wtih a cool uniform promotion with that nickname).
Now, with a clever new nickname, new glow-in-the-dark uniforms and a new stadium (Spirit Communications Park), fans are, pardon the expression, glowing with excitement.
And yes, glowing stuff will be available in the team store.
