    Why do MLB managers wear uniforms? Do they wear a cup too?

    It's kina silly when you think about it. I don't want to see Dom Capers wearing a helmet and pads this weekend.

    It's because managers used to play the game also. So wearing the uniforms sort of stuck around when they stopped playing.

    Remember a couple of years ago when a coach for San Diego was pelted with ice balls in NY? I'll bet he wished he had been wearing a helmet.

    It would be pretty funny to see George Karl wear basketball shorts.

    Baseball is the only sport where the coaches are allowed on the field of play. That might have something to do with it.
