In spring training, Sveum was looking for some type of travel-day themes, similar to what the Tampa Bay Rays do under manager Joe Maddon. The Rays have gone with themes like matching blazers, all white clothes for trips to Miami, and a nerd theme that celebrates Maddon’s horn-rimmed glasses.

“I had just taken my son to see the Avengers,” Garza said. “I looked in the outfield and I thought, ‘Let’s do a super hero trip.’ We just ran with it from there. We were supposed to do it a while back but he wanted to give guys more time to get costumes.”
Garza participated on some of the themed travel days during his days with the Rays.
