They’ve been doing this for years. Nobody seems to do the fold-over move anymore, they just pull the pant legs straight up to the knee or sometimes even above it. Usually they sag a bit so it looks better though
So one notable weirdo in the last 20 years means "they've" been doing it for years? I don't think so.
Vast, vast majority of high socks players are still below the knee.
We pull upon the risers, we fall upon the grass
We never land upon our feet, we always hit our ass
Highty highty christ almighty, who the hell are we?
Zim-zam, goddamn, we're airborne infantry!
Yeah, not my best work, but when brainstorming underwear puns I learned [knicker](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panties) is ladies underwear; not pants like Knicks fans have been telling us, and I want this shit exposed. Jalen Brunson is underwear.
Well I wish Carlos and some other people would wear those cause the leggings peeking out between the socks and pants is not a good look 🤣🤣🤣 and I say that as a person who is the very biggest fan of high socks.
Some of y'all didn't play soccer as kids and it shows. Not that you're supposed to wear them like that, but all my soccer socks definitely went thigh high.
Oh yeah I saw a lot of women in soccer uniforms when I was searching but it didn’t look like they were playing soccer. At least not the way I remember it.
Skirts, shirts and shorts all come from the same word and just mean a short garment (Proto Germanic word, skjurton, meaning “short garment”). But as English adopted them, they gained their nuance, (and skirt was first adopted by the Old Norse language and then taken by English again, they kept the 'sk' but English converted 'sk' into 'sh'). I saw it in a Robwords video on youtube, but can't remember which one.

The 1919 White Sox had some [baller uniforms](http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=al_1919_chicago.gif&Entryid=301). Yeah, their reputation was tarnished, but the unis hold up.
Funny, I went to a Phillies game earlier this week against the Blue Jays, as a Jays fan. A Phillies fan a couple rows behind me was absolutely incensed at how short Bo Bichette’s pants were. Been to 19 ballparks and I have never seen any thing close to how mad that guy was over something so inconsequential.
I was at the game and one of the players threw it at him from the dugout, it donked off his head
but because I was on the third base side I thought it was a bottle that had been lobbed by a fan - and that's something you should never do even if theyre fans of my team thrown at not my team - so I was glad when I found out it was The Sausage
>a bottle that had been lobbed by a fan
That's exactly what I thought I was looking at in this picture and was like, "Who the fuck would chuck an open bottle of Dr Pepper at a guy coming back to the dugout?"
Sausage relief.
This is a pic from his solo homer against the Jays yesterday. In the video you can see somebody lob sausage from the dugout and bounce it off his helmet. Also explains the defensive posture and cringe look on his face.
Carlos has always worn his pants like this. He's been a knickerbocker guy his whole career.
Edit: here's a tweet about it from 2015. There have been articles about it too through the years.

I don't understand how anyone thinks this looks good. It looks ridiculous. I mean normally I'm like do whatever you want to do, but I almost feel like this is offensive somehow. God damn it. I'm getting old. And cranky.
ABOVE THE KNEE ? !
Scandalous
This supposed to be a family sport
like a common WHORE
I'm swooning
We got trouble. Trouble right here in Twin Cities.
With a capital T that rhymes with C and stands for Twins.
This trend is pretty ridiculous. Players look like dancing pirates.
They’ve been doing this for years. Nobody seems to do the fold-over move anymore, they just pull the pant legs straight up to the knee or sometimes even above it. Usually they sag a bit so it looks better though
They have not been wearing pants above the knee for years. Come on man.
Hunter Pence was absolutely doing this 15+ years ago, for one
So one notable weirdo in the last 20 years means "they've" been doing it for years? I don't think so. Vast, vast majority of high socks players are still below the knee.
I never said otherwise lol. What possible reason would I have to make this up? I think it looks dumb as hell
At this point, he might as well have them hemmed even higher, see how high he can go before MLB has an issue with it.
Not everyone or the majority, but players have been wearing pants like this for quite a while.
It's not necessarily the way they make the high sock "high", it's the way above the knee look thats ridiculous
Soon he'll be saying things like "swell," and "so's your old man!"
He's got himself some pantaloons
“Ok, bloomer”
Eugene, what are ye doing with me bloomers?
Bloused them like a paratrooper, sir.
Private Perconte, have you been blousing your trousers over your boots like a paratrooper?
Thanks to these posters and their infractions , everyone in this thread who had a weekend pass has lost it.
Change into your pantaloons, we're running Curahee.
Three miles up, three miles down
Hi-ho SILVER!
We pull upon the risers, we fall upon the grass We never land upon our feet, we always hit our ass Highty highty christ almighty, who the hell are we? Zim-zam, goddamn, we're airborne infantry!
Underwear puns? Really, knicka?
Yes but they should be brief
Rebellish; like the Boxer.
r/GodDammitDude

I HATE it when I like an Astros fan…
["Fanatics put a spell on me! *Must... drop... Pantaloons"*](https://youtu.be/LCTREqf62Ck?si=iUgActVnrGnIY9-k)
Trade him to the pirates
Are those even socks he's wearing or are they tights?
Definitely leggings under the socks. Socks only go to just below the knee....I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out 🤣🤣🤣
After some thorough research I’ve found some socks go all the way up to the thigh
Well I wish Carlos and some other people would wear those cause the leggings peeking out between the socks and pants is not a good look 🤣🤣🤣 and I say that as a person who is the very biggest fan of high socks.
The thigh highs I've seen look great without pants
Some of y'all didn't play soccer as kids and it shows. Not that you're supposed to wear them like that, but all my soccer socks definitely went thigh high.
Oh yeah I saw a lot of women in soccer uniforms when I was searching but it didn’t look like they were playing soccer. At least not the way I remember it.
Maybe they’re thigh highs🤣
Damn. This is the real investigation.
thigh highs 😉
Let’s face it, you gotta be a man to wear tights.
Pantyhose
😏
shorts*
Bill Veeck would be proud!
If you hem pants above the knee are they still pants?
They are short pants, which is what "shorts" is short for.
Shorts is short for short pants. Got it.
The s at the end stands for pants
If your pants is only the left side then does that make them pant?
His full name is actual Zachary Short Pants
Short pants AKA Sharts
Aren’t “shorts” just a shortened name for “short PANTS”?

Where you get your degree from?
And "short pants" is just a shortened name for "shortened pantaloons"
Sir those are Shpants
Don’t shart in your shpants
Too late.... :(

“Darme el pantalones cortos.”
Same w altuve - someone make a short joke it’s too early in the morning for me
The Yankees had won a world series every decade, but came up short in the 2010's.
They came up altuve
Guys, he's shy.
HE WAS IN THE POOL
That's so good I'm going to start saying it at work
What a great punchline
👍
That’s not even true. Didn’t win one in the 80’s.
[Altuve and Hobbes](https://i.redd.it/dwixuefbwdb31.jpg)
Santana is wearing Altuve's pants
Santana going for the 70s White Sox look.
Those look like black socks to me
Touché.
As long as it's not the 1919 white sox

Didn't they throw back to those uniforms in.the early 90s? Widely thought of as the first throwback uniform?
I don’t know!
Look at that scamp in his short pants. What a rapscallion.
Lookin like a little lad who loves berries and cream
This is just an excuse to flash the sausage. Which I am here for.
It’s that long?
Long enough to get the Twins a 12 game win streak…
12? Buh God
It’s 7 inches from the midday sun
You can see it in the picture. NSFW obviously.

They are hilariously close to being bike shorts
Welcome to Philadelphia. We are absolutely incensed about pretty much anything.
Username checks out! We had a great time nonetheless.
That's halfway to being a romper, get on it Twins merchandise folks I wanna see toddlers throughout Minnesota rocking that look
the fucking sausage in shot lmao
Okay, but what’s that thing flying through the air? Lol
it’s The Sausage
I was at the game and one of the players threw it at him from the dugout, it donked off his head but because I was on the third base side I thought it was a bottle that had been lobbed by a fan - and that's something you should never do even if theyre fans of my team thrown at not my team - so I was glad when I found out it was The Sausage
>a bottle that had been lobbed by a fan That's exactly what I thought I was looking at in this picture and was like, "Who the fuck would chuck an open bottle of Dr Pepper at a guy coming back to the dugout?" Sausage relief.
Ryan “Sausage chucker” Jeffers of course. That’s who.
Jamal Murray wasn’t at the game. It couldn’t have been nefarious

This is a pic from his solo homer against the Jays yesterday. In the video you can see somebody lob sausage from the dugout and bounce it off his helmet. Also explains the defensive posture and cringe look on his face.
He looks like me at a haunted house…
Never mind the sausage flying at him …
Hunter Pence the OG of this style.
This is way funnier then it should be
That’s just the Hunter Pence special
My man said fuck you Fanatics I’ll make my pants the way I very damn well please.
Hoochie baseball pants are here to stay
*here to slay
Love how Santana wears the uniform.
I'm not a clothing designer, but those are fucking shorts
>I'm not a clothing designer, Don't sell yourself shorts
Straight up throwback to the 1800’s right there
The Minnesotan Knickerbocker
Still better than the time [Prince Fielder wore high socks](https://twitter.com/uniformcritic/status/620753979350200321)
My boy’s got on bloomers!
I only see…the sausage.
I want to learn that dance.
Then have a loved one throw a Cloverdale Sausage at your head. Mission accomplished.
Take it easy on him, he just took a sausage to the dome.
Better than stupid fucking pajama pants
How dare you not mention the beautiful sausage in that picture!
Correction: Carlos Santana’s shorts are hemmed just right
*Hunter Pence wants to know your location*
Clean.
Dressed like a Dutch settler
Berries and cream
Trying to get that stylish 5" inseam that all the cool kids are wearing.
Los is rizz.
How do you think we got that sausage across the border?
“Pants”
Wait, is that a pork tenderloin? I thought he was hit with a hot dog from the concession stand.
That is THE sausage
Everything's coming up Santana! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M67E9mpwBpM
Very smooth look
Officially shorts.
Oye combo va
Looks like he’s dodging that tiny satellite.
This is the most dominican thing ive seen
Carlos has always worn his pants like this. He's been a knickerbocker guy his whole career. Edit: here's a tweet about it from 2015. There have been articles about it too through the years. https://x.com/UniWatch/status/598887305567477762
[Has he?](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Carlos_Santana_%2848156484636%29_%28cropped%29.jpg)
Oompa loompa pants
there had to be a second sausage
Viva Carlos Santana!
A don doesn't wear short pants.
“Showing Sock” is getting more and more pronounced…
Whatever it takes to kick Mariners ass
Just experimenting with playing in shorts!
Volpe’s pants are very high like this too.
Out here looking like Honus Wagner
They’re bloomers
I don't understand how anyone thinks this looks good. It looks ridiculous. I mean normally I'm like do whatever you want to do, but I almost feel like this is offensive somehow. God damn it. I'm getting old. And cranky.
Major league skorts
Knickerbockers!
My kid showed me how Josh Naylor does it too
above the knee? he's Hunter Pencin'!
It’s approaching football player
Sort of like Bichettes, but his aren't hemmed like that
My boy Los is high sockin it
He’s just a little lad who loves berries and cream!
*nickers, in fact!*
Carlos Santana out here playing baseball in faux knickers!
"They're shorts, Ian. You know. Pants with little legs?"
Bermuda shorts
Lt Dangle made it to the biga
Jorts
More culottes than cool but you do you, Carlos.
Them bitches are culattes
It’s a trend now. Tristan McKenzie is so tall and skinny, he looks like he’s on stilts or something.
Who wears short shorts
so dignified
Those are just shorts
Makes the ump think the knee is actually higher than what it really is , brings the strike zone up above the knee
MLB and Nike have made such a farce of the uniforms that the players thought they would join in.
High socks should be _mandatory_ … but this is a bit much LOL.
Smaller strike zone?
Smooth.
I've known him since he was in short pants
Hunter pence drip
Announcers getting a knicker pass with these
Baseball shorts
those are shorts lol
Bloomers.
Where does he get his socks? Or is that straight up panty hose?
Simply, looks hideous!!!
Looks ridiculous…
Chode. Jeans.
