...or is this a result of fan flak?
http://footer.mlblogs.com/2012/03/08/pistol-or-no-pistol-astros-ponder-colt-45s-jersey/#comment-6270Over the past few months, the club has been in discussion with Major League Baseball (MLB) about whether to wear the authentic Colt .45s jersey. The original logo features the Colts name and a pistol. The alternative jersey would only have the Colts name on the front of the jersey. This week, MLB informed the Astros that the decision would be left to the ballclub. The Astros organization continues to value fan input, therefore the Astros have been reaching out to fans the past week to get their opinion on this issue.
I've always thought this issue had more to do with Selig trying to assert the same pattern of dominance over Crane that he had over McClane than with any notion of "political correctness".
