13. No fines

Monday

Major League Baseball issued a response to three San Francisco Giants pitchers who wrote Biblical inscriptions on the team’s Pride caps: You’ve been warned.

“The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations,” Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, told Outsports in a statement.

Though it might disappoint fans who wanted baseball to issue a fine for the uniform infractions, the warning seems to follow MLB’s guidelines and practices. In reviewing Spotrac’s database of MLB fines and suspensions going back 10 years, I could find no examples of players being fined for a uniform violation.
