uuh70 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 What i am asking is now a days most players who have their pants down to their shoes have the so called "pajama pants" i was wondering if a player wanted the elastic at the bottom like players did around 10 years ago would he be able to get them. I am wondering this because in today you mostly see ether pajama pants, high socks or the stirrups (in my opinion the way it should be) i havent seen the tapered style (elastic at bottom) in more than 5 years except for Greg Maddux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 There are no rules for pants. The rulebook stats this as far as uniforms:1.11(a) (1) All players on a team shall wear uniforms identical in color, trim and style, and all players uniforms shall include minimal sixinch numbers on their backs. (2) Any part of an undershirt exposed to view shall be of a uniform solid color for all players on a team. Any player other than the pitcher may have numbers, letters, insignia attached to the sleeve of the undershirt. (3) No player whose uniform does not conform to that of his teammates shall be permitted to participate in a game.(b.) A league may provide that (1) each team shall wear a distinctive uniform at all times, or (2) that each team shall have two sets of uniforms, white for home games and a different color for road games.(c.) (1) Sleeve lengths may vary for individual players, but the sleeves of each individual player shall be approximately the same length. (2) No player shall wear ragged, frayed or slit sleeves.(d) No player shall attach to his uniform tape or other material of a different color from his uniform.(e) No part of the uniform shall include a pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball.(f) Glass buttons and polished metal shall not be used on a uniform.(g) No player shall attach anything to the heel or toe of his shoe other than the ordinary shoe plate or toe plate. Shoes with pointed spikes similar to golf or track shoes shall not be worn.(h) No part of the uniform shall include patches or designs relating to commercial advertisements.(i) A league may provide that the uniforms of its member teams include the names of its players on their backs. Any name other than the last name of the player must be approved by the League President. If adopted, all uniforms for a team must have the names of its players.

wdm1219inpenna Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I miss stirrup socks. I admit it, I'm old. I hate the long pants look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I actually prefer solid stockings over stirrups. Just thought they always looked better than having parts of white shown under them. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think that all players should wear their pants to where atleast 6 inches of the sock are showing. This would be so much better than pajama pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTernup Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I love stirrups as much as the next guy but if any of you have worn baseball pants up and down, the new "pajama style" is much more comfortable. Pants with elastic are just nowhere near as good as open legged pants.

Sport Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 In high school I wore my pants with the cuffs on my shoes. Sorry I'm not sorry. It was more comfortable and in my honest opinion looks better than wearing knickers.I also liked that little extra cushion on my lower left leg for whenever I had to slide.

rmackman Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The only rule of pants that I'm aware of is that you're required to wear them. Given the choice of HOW to wear them, I'd prefer this: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I could be wrong about this but IIRC, a few years ago Denard Span received a letter from the MLB about his pants style. Apparently they did not like how he sometimes wore his pants below his cleats and had the pants hooked into the spikes.I didn't really bother to look it up, this is just what I remember.

The "pyjama" look is just more comfortable.

AnythingChicago Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 the MLBsighIs that a really particular grammar nitpick? Yes, he could have said "I sent a letter to MLB", meaning Major League Baseball, not the Major League Baseball.But when you're typing it, you're thinking about how it sounds as an acronym, not how the lengthened version of the acronym works in the context of the problem.

"The MLB" is just awkward. The same thing bugs me in pro wrestling discussions when someone says/types "the WCW" or "the ECW."

winghaz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I, too, miss stirrup socks. Look at a photo of Mickey Mantle, and you see how a baseball uniform should be worn, from the cap down to the cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
