    I think all of the looks are fine.

    Big cap, folded lid, baggy pants, stirrups, all cool with me. I like that players can be individuals in baseball while still wearing an actual uniform.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

      I bet a lot of guys wear baggy unis to hide the fact that they've jacked up recently.

        I still play baseball, and personally, the stirrups are much better than baggy cause like someone said with cueto, you can easily trip and stirrups have so much history and look so classic.

              Why is it that the NFL is the only league that enforces dress code?

              No homo? Seriously. Enforcing a damn dress code? Since when should pro sports become the fashion police?

                I'm young. I have never understood stirrups, even when I played. Stirrups felt weird and added another layer.

                I'll be honest. Towards the end of my baseball playing days I wore ankle socks underneath long pants. It felt like playing in pajamas, it was awesome

                  Stirrups are a nuisance, today's players claim – they don't stay up or the strap that fits under the foot flops out, or it's just plain easier to put on one pair of socks than two.
                  All true.

                  I can understand people wanting them to stay around, but they literally serve zero purpose now and they make players uncomfortable.

                  There have been a lot of baseball evolutions for the worse. I'd say this is pretty low on the list.

                    I definitely think this has some truth to it.

                      I have no issue with homosexuals, but if your looking at the details of how a pant fits on a MAN's ***, perhaps you should come up to the Pride Parade here in Toronto next year. Look... I played baseball for 15 years, but the way a man wears his clothing is entirely up to him, as long as it's not out of line. I don't watch much NFL, but that's pretty damn ridiculous that they enforce a dress code (if it's on-field we're talking about, I completely understand the off-field dress code, players should look respectable when sitting on the bench, like the NBA).

                        ehh...I hate the stirrups. Didn't like wearing them and don't like looking at them either. I'm fine with (and actually really like) the "classic" look of the high socks that some sport, and agree that the baggies have gotten ridiculous...I'm just not a fan stirrups.

                            You sure do paint with a broad brush don't you? Basically you called every traditional baseball uniform purist gay. If I can extrapolate it even further you're also calling any guy who is into the uniform and logo aesthetics and such gay as well.

                            Stay classy there Mr. az25.

                              Never wore stirrups when I played because I couldn't find them anywhere to buy, so I stuck with the high socks and low cleats.

                              Pants that fold over the tongue of the cleat are cool to me but when they hang off the back of the heal, I think that looks stupid and like someone said "Pajama Pants". Which if they were Pajama Pants, they would be Pajama Pants that are worn out in public, which I and many others in the world find it "Trashy".
