msubulldog Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 1) In cool weather, and sometimes warmer temps, players wearing sweatshirts or hoodies instead of windbreakers.2) Less and less players wearing long sleeves under their jerseys in cool/cold weather--including pitchers.3) Managers wearing short-sleeve pullovers instead of a regular jersey.Are there any others I'm missing?

BBTV Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think the hoodie thing started in the playoffs a few years ago. It's probablly a marketing thing. I know tons of people around here bought the generic "post season" or "playoffs" when the phillies were in it. It looks odd to see players in a gray sweatshirt over their red and white uniform.

Gothamite Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Didn't MLB institute a rule a couple years ago requiring managers to wear jerseys under their short-sleeved jackets, not instead of?

Funky Bunky Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Didn't MLB institute a rule a couple years ago requiring managers to wear jerseys under their short-sleeved jackets, not instead of?Yes. They caught Terry Francona (I believe) without his jersey a few times and that sparked the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Didn't MLB institute a rule a couple years ago requiring managers to wear jerseys under their short-sleeved jackets, not instead of?I'm not sure if it's actually still enforced though. I still don't understand why a manager needs to wear a uniform at all. Certainly they can come up with coaching gear that would allow for them to look professional but not silly in stretch doubleknit.

Certainly they can come up with coaching gear that would allow for them to look professional but not silly in stretch doubleknit.Tradition, I guess? Maybe from the times player/managers were more common... Also, baseball is pretty much the only team sport where a manager/coach can enter the playing field (if only for pitching changes and berating the umpires...)

The_Admiral Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's what it is. People on the field in civilian attire look like interlopers. If some guy came to the mound in a polo shirt and slacks, I'd think it were the trainer or another drunk Cubs fan. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomDreamer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I guess Connie Mack was the last manager to wear a suit and tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonColtsBoy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Connie Mack,most wins,losses,and games managed in MLB history.I call the two rules passed after he retired "the Connie Mack rules."
