I know I'm gonna regret this, and people I respect on this site will curse my name, but I can't resist:
Larry, will you please, in as few words as possible, tell me how in the name of Abner Doubleday the BATTER's uniform [color, design, ANYTHING ABOUT IT] could POSSIBLY "contribute" to his being HBP? Or be "distracting"? Or even be mildly interesting to talk about among umpires?
