Cardinals players wear tilted caps to support rookie Hancel Rincón

St. Louis Cardinals players donned their caps at a tilt during pregame preparations on Saturday at Coors Field to show solidarity with rookie pitcher Hancel Rincón. The gesture follows an incident on Friday where home plate umpire Doug Eddings ordered Rincón to adjust his hat during a 7-6 Cardinals victory over the Colorado Rockies. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected from that game after arguing the directive with Eddings, labeling the umpire's interference a power-hungry move. While Eddings claimed he acted to prevent a distraction, Rockies batter Hunter Goodman denied reports that he complained about the pitcher’s hat. Before Saturday's game, Eddings engaged in a brief conversation with Rincón on the field, which the Cardinals broadcast team characterized as an apology for the previous day's events.
