Leave it to Bud to find any way to make a quick buck!

1999
» Commissioner Bud Selig confirms that discussions are underway which could lead to advertising space being sold on the sleeves of players uniforms.
The Cubs obtain P Dan Serafini from the Twins in exchange for cash considerations.

1998
Marlins' C Charles Johnson, who had not committed an error in a record 172 consecutive regular season games, is charged with one on a wild throw in the 1st inning of Florida's opening day 11–6 victory over the Cubs. Johnson hits a 3–run home run in Florida's 6–run 1st inning to atone for his miscue. The defending champs will lose their next 10 games.

1958
Milwaukee purchases P Dick Littlefield from the Cubs. The well-traveled pitcher will be wearing his 10th and last ML uniform, as he goes 0–1 for the Braves.

I'm glad the sleeve ads fell through... MLB teams don't need to look like the Japanese League, Mexican League, or the Bad News Bears. Walter Matthau as a drunk coach would have been funny...
