One of the reason’s KFC is “getting it” is that they still have the Colonel as a symbol and an influence. These days we may call it “old school”, but really it’s all just common sense.

Getting It: Green Major Leagues
Contributed by Rick DeVan on April 21, 2010 at 8:00 am ET
I have often said that Baseball is a social institution with important social responsibilities. Just as Baseball took a leading role in the development of relations between the races in the United States, with the appearance of Jackie Robinson for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, so must it turn its attention, efforts, and influence to other important social issues. One of those issues, which is inextricably linked to all aspects of our game, is care for the environment. Every club, regardless of its field surface, seeks to create a healthy and pleasant environment for its players and fans. This requires attention to a wide array of environmental issues, including clean air, clean water, fertilizers, pesticides, transportation, procurement policies, and the collection and disposal of waste materials generated by baseball activities.
Commissioner of Baseball, Allan H. (Bud) Selig
One more reason to love baseball.
