Question about Questions from a Coach

My take on why it is a good idea (as opposed to why it is in the rules) is that contact on a loose jersey might make it hard to determine if actual contact had occured. I think of a baseball player from years ago (my age is showing) named Minnie Minnoso (sp?) who I believe still hold the record for the most times being hit by a pitch. He wore a slightly oversized uniform top and let it hang out as he leaned over the plate. He got to first a whole lot of times when the ball hit his shirt but nothing else.
