As some of us might recall there was a bit of controversy in the Cardinals win over the White Sox on Wednesday afternoon. “Controversy” might be a bit too dramatic of a word, but there was some, shall we say, hubbub. Cardinals reliever Giovanny Gallegos had his hat confiscated because there was a suspicious spot on the bill. As we noted before the season began, Major League Baseball had announced its intention to crack down on doctoring baseballs with foreign substances. This appeared to be part of that crack down.
That or the umpires are just weirdos that stole a guy’s hat.
