Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, known for wearing hoodies and other casual garb, can dress down in the U.S. Senate under a new rule by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

The leader’s softening of the dress code was contained in a notice that went out to the senate sergeant-at-arms and relevant staff members, according to congressional sources. The new lax standards would allow the Democrat Fetterman to wear his preferred casual attire, including sweatshirts and baseball shorts, anywhere he wants in the Capitol.

The senator was reportedly in the senate in his usual garb after he returned from treatment for clinical depression.

Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
