Taking the stink out of baseball
Major League Baseball is changing its caps from the traditional wool to a new polyester blend. According to an MLB official, the change is part of commissioner Bud Selig's focus on boosting player performance.
Yes, performance-enhancing clothing! That's allowed. Performance-enhancing drugs, on the other hand, can still get a player in trouble. At least if he gets caught.
So what makes the polyester blend better? Apparently, the wool hats would stink when they got wet. These hats won't do that.
Your team, however, might still stink. In the lopsided world of pro baseball, there's probably a very good chance.
