1) You are too cheap to buy a second shirt for doing non-IHSA baseball.
2) You don't care how it looks.

There might be another reason or two, but when I see a guy walk on a high school field (in Illinois) with numbers, I laugh. And don't forget up until last year, the left sleeve had teh IHSA Official's insignis and the right sleeve had the Sportsmanship patch. Those who had numbers on their right sleeve should not be wondering why they did not get playoff assignments when they couldn't adhere to policy.

I cannot speak for everyone and I will not. But I did not see anyone wear numbers on a shirt, unless it was a college game. If I saw any numbers on the shirt during a HS game, it was not on a member of that organization. And one of those individuals got a Sectional this year.
But I forgot, you are all knowing.
