If these ominous clouds clear up, I’m scheduled to play my first game of old man’s baseball tonight. I play right field for the 26 and older Cubs.
Last year, our team made the switch to pinstripes, identical to the ones you see an angry Lou Piniella wearing above. I hate pinstripes. Their outdated. And they make you look like a husky douche. Two years ago, we wore gray pants and blue tops. I wish we still did.
Can I get a witness?

Pinstripes are awesome. Fail.

I think old men wearing coordinated outfits is worse than pin stripes……just saying….

Love the pinstripes.

Baseball without pinstripes is like Water Polo without speedos. It just has to be!

I don’t like ‘em either… (oh yes, I wear the same uniform). Go Cubs.

No witness here. I love pinstripes.

They may be a big part of baseball but they aren’t flattering.

Pinstripes are classic.
