Pete Alonso may keep fighting the good fight, but MLB does not sound inclined to change its stance.
Joe Torre, its chief baseball officer, said he doesn’t foresee MLB changing its rule on teams wearing commemorative hats during games — like the first-responder caps Alonso wanted the Mets to wear on Sept. 11, only to be denied by the league.
“We’re pretty stingy when it comes to allowing one team to do it, because it’s only fair to the other 29,” Torre said Sunday at Citi Field before the Mets and Dodgers played the rubber game of their series.
