Do you think that baseball players should wear their pants hiked up to the knee showing all of their socks?

Question

It seems today most players pull their pants down to their shoes.

Answer 1

yes, it brings back the respect of past traditions, it would be an honor to wear my uniform the same way alot of the late great ball players once did!

Answer 2

Actually, the "short pants and knee high socks" are the traditional way of wearing a baseball uniform. The baggy, sagging to the ankles style is the new preference. Personally, I like the old school way, it looks much cleaner. The baggy look just looks sloppy to me.

Answer 3

No i don't think they should have to. I love them having a choice that way no one has to dress the same, by the ways some just feel more comfertable with thier pants down the more comfertable you are the better you play. And by the ways the teams would look too clean if they all have them up. I'm an A's fan so I don't really like the clean look ;-)

Answer 4

A little known fact is the uniforms were designed by pro ball player turned fashion designer "No-leg Cassini" He got out of the game because he found base running to be a "drag"

Answer 5

It looks more traditon so yes I think they should wear pants pulled up to the knees.

Answer 6

Love the knee-highs!

Answer 7

I say if a uniform makes your a*s look that good, wear them up to your thighs if you want too, cuz I'm not looking at your socks :0)

Answer 8

I prefer to see them there but I always felt the most comfortable for me was halfway to the calf.

Answer 9

i think it is a matter of personal preference or should be left to the commisioner

Answer 10

Yes......they were called or we called them "stirrups"
