It's been my assumption that the Tuesday bag-n-tag day is a holdover from the FedEx days (some far-flung teams still use FedEx). Shipping thousands of large crates on a Sunday would be a logistical nightmare for all parties involved, and the following Monday is (in my experience) always the American holiday Presidents' Day.
