Yes, If I remember correctly, he paid each player $300 to grow a mustache. (Can't imagin why they would need an extra $300). Besides the colorful unis, he also had some games, probably only in spring training, played with colored balls. He also suggested a pinch runner rule (similar to the pinch hitter) and had a donkey as a mascot. The pinch runner thing came about because he had a really fast guy on his team who couldn't hit or play defense. I think it was some guy named Washington, but am not sure.
