To hell with their uniforms, too.

Having only numbers and no names is not a sacred tradition to be saved and cherished. It is an old moldy relic when teams could only afford a few shirts, and players were valueless cogs who came and went and had to use the old guy's shirt because the owner was too cheap to buy a new one, or even just sew a new name on.

Only a few players transcend to the point where you only need the number. #5 on Royals blue, thats George Brett, etc. For every other random dude in every sport, I want their damned name on the back, living in the stone-age is not cool or superior, it is fan-unfriendly and annoying.
