Baseball uniforms are a unique beast. The shirts have buttons (though, for some reason, they don't count as "formal wear" at weddings), the pants have belts and the players need to wear hats to keep the sun out of their eyes. But nothing is as unique to baseball as the stirrup sock.

That's great. My first thought was that they had something to do with non-dyed "sanitary" socks but I didn't know the story until now. The O's should bust out some old-school stirrups like the 1920s and 30s multi-colored versions the Cards and Sox were wearing.
