And only in baseball does the manager or coach wear the same clothing the players do. If you'd ever seen John Madden in his Oakland Raiders uniform, you'd know the reason for this custom."<BR/><BR/>I think it's kind of silly that they have to wear the uniform in the first place. Yes, I realize it's tradition and all that, but there's no reason why the guy shouldn't be allowed to veer from tradition, especially for the medical reasons Francona has... but it's just flat out stupid that someone's actually devoting energy to making this stupid rule a big deal in the first place.

This is the reason I could never play baseball---I could never wear a uniform. Of course, my limited athletic ability would be another problem, as is my sex (at least for Major League Baseball), but mostly, it's about the uniforms.
