...Price, religious studies professor at Whittier College (Calif.) and author of Rounding the Bases: Baseball and Religion in America, also thinks the Rockies should make more of their beliefs. "Nobody seems to complain when Tiger Woods promotes economic sponsorship by wearing the Nike swoosh on this shirt," says Price. "What's the difference with promoting religious affiliation?
