why are the Boston RedSox' helmets dirty?

because they use so much pine tar and stuff, so many of the batters also have superstitions about it, so they never clean it at all.

Some leagues require it and some do not. I know I wore a visor for a while and took it off recently. I had a tinited one. It sucks when you stop fast and snow gets on it. The water spots bug me. Also Im a referee and I do not wear one so I am more used to not wearing one.

All of the above.\n\nHe is a disgrace to the uniform.

On Tuesday, the club unveiled a new primary and secondary logo. The new logos will be used for all team purposes, including merchandise, publications, and ballpark signs effective immediately.\n\nThe new primary logo, which was designed by Skilo Brands of New York City in consultation with Major League Baseball and the Rangers, is red and blue and contains a baseball inlaid in a circle.

They are negated, a game and it's accompaning stats are not official until after the fifth inning.\nI hope that helps.

I play hockey, coach hockey, and dream hockey. I could never imagine a player in todays age not wearing a helmet. I coach bantams (13-14 years old). Just yesterday I watch one of my players go head first into the board full speed. He was going for a loose puck when he got pushed the wrong way. He picked his head up just in time to see the boards. I have never seen this kind of damage to a helemt ever. The plastic boke in about 5 or 6 different places. Now just think of a Pro player hitting the boards with out a helemt, and now think of what hi head would look like...

"It's just a logo and a name"  WELL JUST WHAT IS A LOGO? It's a symbol.  It tells the world what the entity (in this case the Cleveland baseball team) wants to be known by.  It's not enough that they want to be known by "Indians".  They want their logo to have a bright red face.  I've never seen a person with such a face.  They want that face to have Beaver like buck teeth.  I've never seen a human with teeth like that.  It's very mean, disrespectful and humiliating.\n\n"I wish a white man was a sports logo.  That would be cool."\nWell, be cool and purchase something with the logo with a white man.  I believe (I could be wrong) that the following teams include white men as (relatively respectful) logos (I'm sure there are more): San Diego Padres, Boston Celtics, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Twins, USC Trojans, Michigan State Spartans, West Virginia Mountaineers, Notre Dame Irish, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Tech Red Raiders, U. Mass Minutemen ......but definitely not Texas A&M - because everyone know that an Aggie is not human !!!

They change balls really often.  It's because they're worried about the ball being scuffed or damaged during the game.  The ump wants to ensure that the game isn't swayed in favor of either team.

I've gotta agree with Georgie, no way, no how should a major leaguer even pick up an aluminium bat. Leave that crap for the CWS. The PING of the bat should never be heard in a big league stadium...

From the Steelers:\n\nAt first, this was a temporary measure because the Steelers weren't sure they would like the look of the logo on an all-gold helmet. They wanted to test them before going all-out.\n\nEquipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to put the logo only on one side of the helmet - the right side. The 1962 Steelers finished 9-5 and became the winningest team in franchise history to date. The team finished second in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the Playoff Bowl. They wanted to do something special for their first postseason game, so they changed the color of their helmets from gold to black, which helped to highlight the new logo.\n\nBecause of the interest generated by having the logo on only one side of their helmets and because of their team's new success, the Steelers decided to leave it that way permanently.

I usually dry clean mine, it's normally less than $5.00 and they press it for you too, so it looks nice when you head out to the old ball game.\n\nThat is if you're talking about an authentic jersey, If you mean a game-used or game-worn, DO NOT WASH IT, it will lose all value.

Baseball players have grass (or astro turf) and dirt to spit on, and basketball players don't, they wouldn't want to ruin their nice court floor.  hehe, what do I know? NOthing apparently lol.

Hot Leathers has pretty good prices on leather jackets. They aren't top of the line but they are good quality and they have very reasonable prices on leather. There is one in the Silver City Galleria in Taunton and one in East Providence/Rumford. I'm sure there are probably more near Boston. As for helmets, believe it or not Benny's has DOT approved helmets very cheap. Again they are not the best on the market but they look good and meet all the safety standards required by DOT. Pep Boys also carries some good DOT helmets for 50 to 100 bucks.\n\nSide note to helmets. They are only good for one impact. If you drop it to hard that will seriously affect its performance. You should never buy a used helmet. Its like buying a used condom. You have not idea where its been or what its done.

The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts their logo on only one side of the helmet (the right side). At first, it was a test to see how the logo appeared on their helmets, but its popularity led the team to leave it that way permanently. Hope this helps you out!

The Red SOX (not socks, you uncommitted fan), are both pathetic and sad.  \nThey'll be lucky if anyone shows up to their games.
