I don't know enough about the rules to answer this myself. If Chase Utley is on
the DL, how is it I've seen him in the dugout, in uniform? Do they just allow
him the courtesy of watching the game from there, and does he have to be in
uniform to do so? Just curious.

me neither.

I guess pretty soon we'll see him next to Howard in a soft cast next to
Victorino sporting an Hawaiian shirt.

I reckon the rules are a little different than the NFL or ABA, if that's
what your hinting at.

I found this:

3.17 Players and substitutes of both teams shall confine themselves to
their team�s benches unless actually participating in the play or preparing
to enter the game, or coaching at first or third base. No one except
players, substitutes, managers, coaches, trainers and bat boys shall occupy
a bench during a game.
PENALTY: For violation the umpire may, after warning, remove the offender
from the field.

Rule 3.17 Comment: Players on the disabled list are permitted to
participate in pre-game activity and sit on the bench during a game
but may not take part in any activity during the game such as warming
up a pitcher, bench-jockeying, etc. Disabled players are not allowed
to enter the playing surface at any time or for any purpose during the
game.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case but he's always in uniform. Guess it
just makes him feel more part of the game. Wish he woulud get better and come
back.

And, not that I'm counting, but I think that bulldog's first post of the
season.
