If you’ve ever dreamed of donning a Space Cowboys jersey that has Baby Yoda chilling in a satchel on it, you won’t have to go to a galaxy far, far away to have a chance at getting one.
The Space Cowboys will be taking on the Albuquerque Isotopes on June 3 and, it’ll be Star Wars Night. Keeping in tune with the yearly theme, the Space Cowboys will be wearing special Mandalorian-inspired jerseys that are going to be auctioned off.

The auction, which is planned to happen on site, is expected to benefit Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Family Alliance.
The auction goes through the fifth inning, and then the jerseys will be washed and signed before the winners can come back to pick them up, according to Space Cowboys spokesperson Ryan Posner. There will be at least 30 jerseys up for auction, Posner said.
Star Wars Night won’t be the first time the Space Cowboys have gotten creative with their uniform this season. The Astros’ Triple-A team broke out Spongebob-themed jerseys over the weekend.
The Star Wars jerseys won’t be the only nod to that night’s theme, either. People from the 501st Legion will be dressed in costumes, walking the concourse, throwing out the first pitch and taking photos with fans the whole nine yards, Posner said.
Other attractions include the video board being “themed out,” and the Friday home game fireworks featuring Star Wars music.
