Here's what's going to take place:

"In each of the three years of the partnership, all 96 participating MiLB teams will host at least one Marvel Super Heroä themed game as part of the “Marvel’s Defenders of the Diamond” campaign, where teams will wear special edition Marvel Super Hero-branded jerseys on field during the game with other Marvel-themed activities and promotions taking place throughout the game."

More information is expected to be released as we get closer to the 2022 season, but it's certainly going to be a lot of fun.  MiLB officials say the last few years they've discovered baseball fans have taken a massive interest in the Marvel franchise, whether it's comic books, or especially the series of blockbuster movies that have come out.
