What is this rule all about? In baseball, all players must wear the same uniform with the same “Hat”. So does it extend to the Manager as well? Yes, say the fans. So, as it can be clearly seen, Dusty’s hat is navy but has an orange brim while the entire team is wearing all navy. It seems that Dusty and his hat cannot stay away from trouble after all.
