As Tropical Storm Harvey continued to victimize the Houston area, some Major League Baseball players were thinking of home.

This weekend of MLB was also Players Weekend, where players could wear and use custom-designed uniforms and gear.

ESPN noted late Sunday that Washington Nationals third baseman and Richmond, Texas native Anthony Rendon was paying tribute to Houston with his Players Weekend custom cleats. Of course his cleats were designed days ago but it was still good to see the fashionable shout out.

Rendon played college baseball for the Rice University Owls and before that was a standout for Lamar High School.

Various Houston Astros were wearing special jerseys with their own nicknames on the back, like Jose Altuve ("Tuve") and Jake Marisnick ("Big Fudge") during this past weekend's series against the Anaheim Angels.

The team defeated the Angels on Sunday 7-5 as fans back in Houston fought flood waters, something that manager A.J. Hinch didn't let it go unnoticed.

"We played a great game today and won. Proud of our guys. Even more proud of the Houstonians who are battling this relentless storm. Stay safe," Hinch wrote on Twitter.

One of this players, hurler Collin McHugh, also had comforting words for Houstonians on Twitter.

"I hope today's game brought a smile to someone's face in Houston. Know that every one of us has the city on our hearts & in our prayers," he wrote.

The team begins a series with state rivals the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.
