In the next day’s New York Times, among other publications, details of the promotion went public.

“So in the middle of this press conference where we had everyone, the fire department shows up in their full regalia,” said Anne Occi, MLB’s vice president of design. From an adjoining break room spilled a cooler of dry ice, which created enough smoke for one member of MLB’s clerical staff, despite assurances that all was well, to pull the fire alarm. For the press conference, decorators transformed the space into a future wonderland, complete with jersey mockups and a plasma globe that pulsed with energy when people touched it. The grand reveal took place at MLB’s offices in Manhattan, where the league announced details of the promotion to a group of sports and business writers. And we are heading into the 21st century, are we not? Steve Savino Rather than mock up 30 uniform designs, the league created one boilerplate that every team could use - a sleeveless, V-neck jersey with cap sleeves and an oversized team logo on the front. With the Mariners providing the blueprint and the real estate firm offering financial backing, MLB was on its way to taking its “Turn Ahead the Clock” coast to coast it simply had to streamline things. “And we are heading into the 21st century, are we not?” When MLB also offered up the sponsorship for a leaguewide “Turn Ahead the Clock” promotion, the lure was obvious to Savino. Century 21 had recently purchased rights to the Home Run Derby, at a time when Mark McGwire had just set the single-season home run record and the long ball was very much en vogue. In 1999, he was the executive vice president of global marketing for Century 21, a real estate agency looking to rejuvenate its brand. Savino is a professor now, teaching undergraduate students and MBA candidates at Lehigh. So how would they dress? What would they look like?” “We’re fast-forwarding to that kind of timeframe where everything is automated, and people are in flying cars or whatever. It is associated with the planet Mercury the astrological symbol for the planet is also one of the alchemical symbols for the metal the Sanskrit word for alchemy is Rasavātam which means "the way of mercury".“You remember the old cartoon, ‘The Jetsons’?” Steve Savino is saying from his office at Lehigh University. The element was named after the Roman god Mercury, known for speed and mobility. It comes from hydrargyrum, a Latinized form of the Greek word Ύδραργυρος (hydrargyros), which is a compound word meaning "water-silver" (hydr- = water, argyros = silver) - since it is liquid like water and shiny like silver. Hg is the modern chemical symbol for mercury. The purest of these was gold, and mercury was called for in attempts at the transmutation of base (or impure) metals into gold, which was the goal of many alchemists. They believed that different metals could be produced by varying the quality and quantity of sulfur contained within the mercury. Alchemists thought of mercury as the First Matter from which all metals were formed.
