Alex Williams, for one, would like to see more of this in baseball.
Baseball Pants, a Sight for Sore Eyes. (The New York Times, 10/25/2013)
Oh, for those days of yesteryear. The World Series is a showcase for not only the finest teams in the game, but also, for about the 15th year running, the regrettable fashion trend of the baggy, pajama-pant look. At one point, the style may have communicated a certain rebel swagger, but now everyone from baseball purists to fashion wags is crying “foul.”
San Francisco Giants rightfielder Hunter Pence takes the old style to new heights. There's even a Hunter Pence High Socks Facebook page, though it has just 17 "likes".
(Above photos taken at August 7 Brewers-Giants game.)
Then there's the traditional stirrup look.
