Because, as a major league sport that plays in hot/humid weather, you want to make FLEECE available to your fans ...

Granted, I've frozen my butt off in the summer at Dodgers & Giants games, and sat in the falling snow for a Mets opener. But, I've worked hundreds of Atlanta Braves games where the games started close to 100 degrees, cooling down at night to the low 90s degrees. And, well, you want cotton, not fleece.

Actually, I think I know the reason MLB discontinued cotton -- because with the consistency of cotton, you can make unflattering items out of the material. (I'll let your imagination go wild here.) With fleece, you're limited: blankets, jackets, scarves, etc.
