During the game, the scoreboard and public address system were turned off, and the lineups announced with a hand-held megaphone.<ref>{{cite news | first=George| last=Bova| title=Memories of Old Comiskey Park: Turn Back the Clock Day July 11, 1990| publisher=White Sox Interactive | url =http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/OldComiskey/TurnBackTheClock.html| access-date = October 17, 2008 }}</ref> In 2003 the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] hosted the [[Baltimore Orioles]] with teams wearing retro St. Louis Cardinals and [[History of the St. Louis Browns|St. Louis Browns]] (the predecessor to today's Orioles, which moved to Baltimore for 1954) uniforms, respectively.

Because the franchise does not yet have a long history from which to choose uniforms, they have often worn the uniforms of historical local teams such as the [[Tampa Tarpons]] of the [[Florida State League]] (worn in 1999, 2006, and 2010), the [[St. Petersburg Pelicans]] of the [[Senior Professional Baseball Association]] (worn in 2008), the [[St. Petersburg Saints]] (2007) and [[Tampa Smokers]] (2011) of the [[Florida International League]], and the [[Tampa Spartans|University of Tampa Spartans]] (2000). The Rays have worn their own uniforms for Turn Back the Clock night only once: in 2009, when they wore Devil Rays "rainbow" uniforms from their 1998 inaugural season.<ref>[http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article1180400.ece "Rays have worn a variety of throwback uniforms"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016204058/http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article1180400.ece |date=October 16, 2012 }} ''St. Pete Times''</ref> In 2019, the [[Cincinnati Reds]] wore a total of 15 throwback uniforms throughout the season as a part of their 150th anniversary celebration.<ref>{{Cite web |title=150th Anniversary Throwback Uniforms {{!}} Cincinnati Reds |url=https://www.mlb.com/reds/one-fifty/throwback-uniforms |access-date=2023-05-27 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref> === Other leagues === In 1921 a baseball game held at [[Rickwood Field]] as part of the Semicentennial of [[Birmingham, Alabama]] was played in "old-style" uniforms and according to "the rules of the games as they were in 1872.".<ref name="Birmingham 1921">"Baseball Fans Given Rare Treat at Wood."
