Major League Baseball reversed its hoodie ban Tuesday, telling Rays manager Joe Maddon that he can resume wearing his pullover.
"Hoodie-gate is over," Maddon said. "I received a call today saying cooler heads had prevailed. I'm now able to wear the hoodie any time I'd like."
MLB sent out a memo last Friday reminding managers and coaches they could only wear approved jerseys or outerwear.
"It's so nice that I can wear my hoodie without any concern that it may result in some form of punishment," Maddon said. "I'm just happy to say on behalf of all the hoodie-wearers everywhere that MLB is back in line with a subculture that I can really, truly identify with."
