In Major league Baseball, who gets to decide which jersey the players will wear for that day?

The face of the team. Like Derek Jeter is the face of the Yankees and Cal Ripken was the face of the O's in his heyday.\n\nIt's the player a GM builds their team around and the go-to guy for reporters...\n\nStuff like that.

I think it is kind of a popularity contest. There are people who vote for the really good people and then there are people who just vote for their team. I think your example was a good one. Jason Varitek did nothing last year, while Joe Mauer was a good hitter. Also, players who are veterans are voted in. Roger Clemens, of course, still has it, but sometimes they vote in people who had a good year last year and didn't make it. Take Johan Santana. The year he won the Cy Young he did not make the all-star game. Last year he did, and he was not having a good year.

If you're talking current players...Derreck Lee for the Cubbies and Jim Thome for the Sox. All-time? Ryne Sandberg for the Cubs and Harold Baines for the Pale Hose.

Yes, managers and bench coaches are required to wear regulation uniforms.\n\n3.15\nNo person shall be allowed on the playing field during a game except players and coaches in uniform, managers, news photographers authorized by the home team, umpires, officers of the law in uniform and watchmen or other employees of the home club.

I heard this explanation during a telecast:\n \nMost teams have 3 sweaters; one white, one dark, and a third alternative sweater for special occaisions (e.g. national televised games, holiday games, etc).  The third sweaters are also dark, with special graphics.  If dark jerseys are for away games, the teams would have to pack both the standard away and the alternative jerseys.  If white is the away color, it makes it easier; simply pack only the white jerseys for road trips.

They have All-Star ballots in all Major League Ballparks. Also you can go to your teams offical web site and they should have a link for the online All-Star voting. See the link below for the online Pirates ballot.

It's a tradition to exchange jerseys with an opponent you admire or respect. Players go up to a member of the opposing team and ask them if they're willing to trade. Most often players are open to it. They keep the jersey they get as a souvenir of the game.

Most times, the rosters are only announced right at the start of the game.   You can often see the Managers hand their roster to the umpires before the game starts.

NBA rules state that no player may wear a uniform number that has been retired. Since #23 was retired by the Bulls (the first time MJ quit), he was actually not allowed to wear it, even though it was his own number...\n\nHe did choose 45 because it was his number in baseball.\n\nHe went back to #23 when he figured out the the NBA would not enforce its own rule.  And, of course, they never did.

Uniform numbers were first worn permanently by the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians in 1929, so that fans in the stands could tell who was who on the field. The inital uniform numbers corresponded to the player's place in the lineup; Babe Ruth wore #3 because he batted third, etc. By the mid-1930's, all teams had numbers on the back of their players' uniforms.

Feb 14 give or take a day, for pitchers and catchers.  Position players will report about five days later.  Each club has a little bit of say.

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

yes it is. it seems tht the fans in New York and Boston stuff the ballot box meaning tht we'll get starting lineup full of Yankees and Red Sox. and for exampl righte now Jason Varitek is leading the AL Catchers in voting, but Joe Mauer should be the clear cut starter because hes batting almost 100 points higher thn Varitek. i feel Troy Glaus should be the starting 3rd baseman and not A-Rod, ARod is having a mediocre year by his standards. but the all star game has turned into a popularity contest and its up to the managers on both teams to select the players who were chosen but didn`t make the teams.
