Cardinals, Rockies players tilt hats in protest after umpire's 'power-hungry move' against rookie pitcher

On Friday, umpire Doug Eddings ordered rookie pitcher Hancel Rincon to straighten his hat during a game, a move widely criticized as an unnecessary use of authority. In response, players from both the Cardinals and Rockies tilted their own hats on Saturday in a show of solidarity with the young reliever. The gesture was described by players and observers as a protest against what they called a 'power-hungry move' by the umpire.
