"Hat Flap" becomes a bigger embarrassment to Selig after news today showed that MLB really didn't have a strong reason to deny the Mets the commemorative hats besides not wanting to create a "precedent for other incidents".
It also didn't help that Selig called the Mets to yell at them saying because they went public, the team embarrassed MLB and him in the eyes of the public.
Torre is trying to diffuse the situation by saying MLB wasn't yelling or trying to cause a problem denying the Mets request.
Mets players claim MLB officials physically took away the hats after the pre-game ceremony to prevent them from sneaking the hats back on the field.
Some people also think had the situation been reversed with the Yankees at home and Mets away, MLB would have allowed the request for the special caps.
