I don't watch a lot of baseball games on TV. I'm a fair weather fan. The last time I watched regularly was the first time they almost made it to the world series. I guess that would be about 4 years ago. This year, I want to get into it, and I've actually paid attendtion to a lot of games. It helps that I get both NESN and ESPN and that TV comedy is in reruns. Last week, I went to a Cincinnati Reds game and it kind of got me excited for baseball.
I like baseball because I understand pretty much all of the rules. 3 strikes, 4 balls, 3 outs. Home team bats last, pitchers don't hit in the American League. The thing that I'm noticing this year, for the first time, is that the Red Sox don't always wear the same uniforms. Tonight, they're gray and they have both a number and name on the back. The other night, maybe last week, they were wearing green t-shirts. And yet another night, the shirts were white and only had a number, no name. What's the deal?

They wear different uniforms for home and away games. Home uniforms don't have names. You're supposed to know who they are by the numbers alone, I guess.
The green ones were a one-time thing. Something about a tribute to the Boston Celtics. They wear green on St. Patrick's Day too.
They wear red uniforms sometimes too, possibly just on Sundays.
This comment was heavily subsidized with info from Scott. Shocking, I know.
Thank you! I think the Celtics thing must have been because Red Auerbach passed away. Kind of like tipping out a sip of the 40 for the homies who've passed.
