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.
