“ If they made a rule and said pants up, I’d do it. There’s no reason I wear my pants down. There’s just parts of the game that change like that. In a hitter’s count, 2-0, 3-0, 3-1, how many times do you see a fastball? Whereas before you knew a four-seamer was coming at you. Things change. That’s just the game. One person makes a change, and everyone kind of rides with it.
“Baseball and socks appeal,” Michael Vitez, Philadelphia Inquirer.
Ask Shane Victorino why he wears baggy pants, and you get this amazing response. Another good quote in this article: “High socks displayed manly calves, which the ladies liked.”
