I'll throw in my 2 cents in defense of Sale...

If I'm not mistaken, most teams do allow for their starting pitcher to have influence over the jersey worn for the day when they take the mound. If the term disregarded the concern and felt coinciding promotions was more important then Sale's input... Starting pitchers are superstitious on game days with most holding to a set routine and some will not even have a conversation with anyone....confidence is king and Sale gave his input on what he felt confident and comfortable with...He expressed his opinion and was ignored and in his mind the team cared more about the PR than winning.

I imagine these jerseys all were just increased in value with this story...Hopefully they can be auctioned off for a cause and bring a positive to this story.
