Is it October yet? That's about the time I become slightly interested in pro baseball.

Rule 8.01.(c): "Each umpire has authority to rule on any point not specifically covered in these rules."

Pretty much the standard line for officials in every sport I've officiated (all two of them, soccer and swimming). If the wearing of an opponents uniform is distracting to the opponents and, in the official's mind, impacts the fairness of play, he clearly has the authority to order a correction of the issue.

…one of the reasons I head home after golf is our clubhouse has two signs describing dress code and enforcement before reaching the host stand. They’re both the same- single spaced font describing what’s acceptable for men and women and children. I’ve grown weary of confrontations over dress code. I now become more offended by the enforcers than I do do the violations…one could argue it’s different for players in professional sports. I’m too tired to listen to that argument…

The Left doesn’t want any rules. That’s how we got open borders.

Or the Left only wants the rules that they like.

Fuck all those hat-tipped ball players. You’re all rich. We don’t like your silly stunts.

Shame on you meade.
Spank your wife and put her back in the kitchen. It's too late to teach her the joy of sport.

I guess the home plate umpire thought he should find something to do, since he’s now redundant at what used to be his main job. But it shouldn’t be too hard to update the ABS system so it can call hat tilt as well as balls and strikes.

Hakeem “The Dream” Jeffries wore wide, flat-brimmed baseball cap the other day. It was the goofiest look. Reminded me of Michael Dukakis in a tank while wearing an Army helmet. The Alfred E. Neumann look.

I think a hat should be squared away. Front if cutting the grass, etc, backward working with tools (I wear eyeglasses so I have to have a place to up a pencil, I just shove it under the hat band). Off when walking into a building. No cover inside. While not a major irritant, any man wearing a hat indoors (at anything other than a hardware store or 7-11) does make me cringe.

The batter had a valid point, the hat was distracting.
The Ump had a valid point in telling the pitcher to get it in line.
That should have been the end of it. It was all perfectly normal and appropriate so far.
Then, because the pitcher started performing badly (maybe proving the point of the complaint) the coach while acting like a child yells at the Ump to "Grow the fuck up".
Maybe all these players should grow the fuck up.

Yet another established norm that has to be changed to accommodate non-whites. Isn’t that nice.
