The New York Mets wanted to wear FDNY hats instead of their normal MLB ballcaps. They did it after 9/11/2001. They were going to do it yesterday. What happened instead? MLB said no, and mandated that the players wear the official MLB cap.
What's so special about the MLB cap? Glad you asked. MLB honors patriotic days (Memorial, July 4, Labor, 9/11) with special hats that do something different each year. Different colors. Different flags. ETC.
How much do these hats cost to buy? Again, glad you asked. You can buy them for 36.99.
Are you kidding me MLB? Are you so corporate and greedy that you can't let the team pay tribute to the real superstars of that day? Again, we treat sports stars like heroes. But our "heroes" want to honor the real heroes. Take the spotlight off them and on the people who deserve it. And instead the MLB just looks like it's trying to make a buck. Have a human aspect to you. Baseball is meant to be fun. It's a beautiful game. It's not the end of the world if a team violates the uniform policy for one game out of 182.
Have a heart MLB. Act like your real. What would be the better statement? Seeing the Mets wearing FDNY hats or wearing a normal Mets hat with a flag on the side of it?
Sometimes I can't stand how much I love baseball.
