Mets season ticket holders given gift honoring MLB rules violation

This undershirt matches teammates and is not in violation.

As you may know, David Wright often violates MLB rule 1.11(a)(2) which states

Any part of an undershirt exposed to view shall be of a uniform solid color for all players on a team.

 

And why this should be taken seriously is

No player whose uniform does not conform to that of his teammates shall be permitted to participate in a game.

That undershirt needs to be either heather grey or the team’s primary color, which in this case is blue.  David often wears a non-matching orange t-shirt.  It looks great, but it’s against the rules.

Uniform enforcement is of paramount importance to guys like Joe Torre, so I am surprised that this is allowed to go on.  What’s next, rogue players wearing first responder caps?

Anyway, the Mets are celebrating this rule infringement in an interesting way.

Yes, it’s a slow news day.  Relax.

Thanks to Eric for the heads up, I was about to dive into the Alternate Caps pool.
