Capt. Ron????

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2005)

Just a quick question that has bothered me for some time. Before the series with the Yanks, when the team is flying to the game, Lou calls Ricky to the back of the plane to advise him that he is not starting. Rick is wearing a shirt with "Capt. Ron" on it.
At first, I thought maybe this was a reference to the movie Captain Ron, of which I had never seen (I thought maybe he was in it). I looked up this movie on this site and found out it was made 3-4 years later and Charlie Sheen had nothing to do with it.
Does anyone know the connection, or is there any? What does this cryptic shirt mean? I know I should let it go, but it bothers me.
