Most teams have names on their uniforms (either home, road or both) as a way to help fans identify the players on the field, as well as sell jerseys. The Yankees are one of the few teams that have kept names off both their home and road jerseys because they are a team that likes to embrace their longstanding history (names on jerseys are a relatively new phenomenon).The Yankees also keep names of the jerseys as a way of saying that no player is bigger than the team - the only name on the Yankees' jerseys are the name of the team. The dodgers did a similar thing a couple years ago, when ownership felt that the players were being too selfish and not playing like a team. They have since relented and put the names back on the jerseys.
Has anyone hit a walk off grand slam to win a game 7 of the world series with 2outs and full count?
Until Bill Veeck, the former owner of the Chicago White Sox added names to the jerseys in the 60's, no one had them. Some teams like to go with that look for a more "classic" feel.I believe that is a team decision. Some teams choose to have the names, some do not. I don't know what factors go into their decision making.
I need help my problem is my 78 year old Dad want to see an Atlanta Braves Baseball game.?
Many teams have their names on their "away" jerseys and no names on their home jerseys. The thinking being that the home fans already know who they are, I guess.Why won't Manny Ramirez cut his hair...it's gross?!?
Some of the more modern teams, like the Marlins and the Brewers (etc.) will have their names on because they're more new school. However, historic teams, like the Red Sox, Cubs, and Yankees don't to keep the historic approach and leave a more old school appeal.Is the Yankees vs. Red Sox game still on for tonight?
It's not a requirement, unlike other sports. Tradition has a lot to do with it. It wasn't really until the 1980s that almost every team started doing it. I'd like to see it mandated for road uniforms, though, so we can all know who the hell's out there at any given time. . . .How many starters on your favorite team is actually from their own farm system?
Team traditions. Really, just team traditions. There is no rule in either direction about players' names on uniforms.1.11 of the rulebook covers uniforms, and 1.11(l) covers names or the lack thereof on uniforms.
Chicago Cubs havent made the world series in 99 years will it B 100 why when they have good players?
It's up to a team to decide if the names are on the jerseys for their home uniforms. Some old-school teams like the Yankees and the Red Sox chose not to have player's names on their home jerseys. Other teams like the Mets have not had names on their home jerseys at times. However, according to MLB rules, all teams (except for the New York Yankees) must have their player's names on their road jerseys. The reasoning that the Yankees are the exception to the rule is because they are the most famous team in baseball and it is assumed that baseball fans know who their players are in any given city.More Questions & Answers...
