    This seems to be cyclical thing in baseball as the Killer B's had the no socks look.

    High socks is the way to go if you have an athletic build. But it’s not for everyone. McCann should always stick with pjs for example.

    I've got my 2005 Astro's pinstripes on, in honor of the New York Yankees. I will also say no Sox in honor of Boston. Lol

    I mean, when I played all the way through high school, our baseball pants weren't so long that they completely obscured our socks and then bunched up on top of that. So, I wore them down, but you could still our socks. Not being able to see the socks on a baseball uniform seems kind of pointless, almost like wearing a tie with your suit but not tying it.

    Also, If my baseball pants were as long as major league pants, I'd been scared I'd somehow catch my back cleat on them, and then all hell would break lose. I had enough random injuries to my ankles already in baseball.

    Socks showing.
