I think he's referring to the clown shoes? How damn big are your feet?

clown shoes? lmao. Those are dress shoes...for work. My foot looks a lot bigger due to my sock being rolled down and also black (like the shoe). I guess it is kind of a weird angle as well.
I only wear size 12...not quite sure why they look so big.

I always wear pants, no matter the temp. Last year I figured it was too hot out during our double header so I wore shorts...
a week later, ended up getting infected...if you couldn't tell by how swollen my entire leg is.
Subliminal picture for the ladies....

Learn to hit the ball with authority and you don't need slide.......................IJS
I went to work with one of those one time, wearing shorts of course, and walked up behind my girlfriend at the time and goosed her. She tried to stomp on my toes with those big square heeled penny loafer chicks wore 15 or so years ago, and raked that heel all the way down my shin through it. It bled pretty bad.

I wear shorts, and I slide. My left shin is now covered in a very tough layer of skin, and I subconsciously keep my leg raised a little so that most of the friction is on my shoe. Yes my shin is a little higher and a slightly easier tag, but it doesn't matter very much very often.

Night of, after showering and scrubbing the bajesus out of it.

I've had a handful of those. They don't turn out that bad anymore.

Two weeks ago in church league (yeah, I know) one of the guys said his buddy wanted to play so he told him to come out. I said, "He can show up but if we have 10 he's not playing." Dude shows up in jorts. He stuck around for the entire game and one of the guys gave him a pity AB when we were up 25-10 and he hit the ball all of 30'. Not that I've never done it, but not a good first impression. After the game he asks me when we play next week; I gave him the ol' "We'll call if we need a guy." Shows up uninvited, again in jorts. He didn't play this one. Hopefully he gets the hint.
Show up in jorts and you better be bat flippin' 400' tally wack bombs!

This is pretty much me. Hot is hot to me. Shorts don't make that much difference for me.

I have found that if you lay out the money for a good, quality pair of pants.........They are as cool and comfortable as shorts. If you're buying your **** at WalMart or Sports Authority, you get what you deserve.

I wear pants to hide my hairy legs. I swear I got wookie DNA. Plus even wearing pants I still slide head first its helps when you have a luscious v of chest pubes.

If I'm playing serious, which is 95% of the time, I wear pants. The senior league I play in doesn't even allow sliding & I still wear pants. If you see me in shorts I'm at practice or just bs'n.
With the materials available today you can be covered up & still stay cool. I wear Champro MVP pants. They're light, breathable, durable & well made. They serve their purpose. I very often also wear a long sleeve base layer on top as well. With the risk of skin cancer & the zika virus, I feel it's a prudent thing to do. Mosquitos & biting insects can be a mf'rs around here, especially after rain or around bodies of water. When you start sweating, insect repellent just doesn't cut it!

Unless it's really cold, I wear shorts. It's men's slow pitch softball... If you need to slide, you shouldn't have went.

shorts feel more free than pants that can be restricting. Im too fast to slide anyway

Cool story bro
AZ = shorts unless it drops below 40 on the one, rare, winter night every few years.
And, I stopped sliding a decade ago. If I'm out running bases it's because the guy behind me didn't hit the ball well or because I got greedy and tried to take one too many bases.

I always wear pants, or shorts......but never both.....and never neither.
Those who say quality pants are no hotter than shorts clearly haven't worn shorts enough or don't play a physically demanding position. I have a tendency to overheat in the higher temps and humidity and don't nearly have as bad of a problem since I switched to shorts.
