I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor and today we're going to be talking about how to wear baseball socks and pants.

Now, what's important to understand is there is a correct way to wear your socks also known more formally as a stirrup. It's pretty self explanatory how to put on a regular sock. That would be the same way you wear a baseball sock but a stirrup actually has a right way and a wrong way. If you look at the angle of the stirrup right there, that part, this part is the bigger cut out. That is the part that's supposed to go in the, in the back of your leg. The shorter part is supposed to go in the front of your leg, therefore making your stirrups stay a little further down on your leg. As I put this on here, you'll see the difference even though it's still black you can still see it.

The idea is to have your stirrup come down on the front and also on the back, therefore covering your feet but at the same time still being able to recognize that it is a stirrup rather than just a plain sock. So, once again, as I explained that this section of the sock, of the stirrup is the part that goes in the back and this section is the part that goes on the front.

Now, with your baseball socks you are able to wear your pants any way you would like. If you would like to wear them up, it is okay to wear them up around closer to your knee. If you'd like to wear them down, it is okay to wear them down. I would suggest, however, pulling your socks up high even if they are underneath your pants, that way when you are running and playing, they don't bother you. They don't cause you any problems with your pants. If your socks have a tendency to fall down or slide down, you should look at getting a new pair of socks to make sure that the elastic band is tight when you pull them up and I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor and we've just explained how to wear baseball pants and socks.

Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today we're talking about enrolling your child in little league. Once you've enrolled you child, you're going to have to get a uniform. You can buy a little league uniform through one of the vendors that the little league organization works with. You are going to have to purchase your own and there are a few options, they're not tons of options but there are I think 3 different lettering options and you can have a cap and socks and visors that can be ordered as well. The packages are pretty reasonably priced. A shirt and a hat could be bought for about $25 and they do go up from there. But that would just be something that your individual team determines what your uniform would be and where you would get it from. So again, you are responsible for providing your child's uniform so don't be surprised once you enroll, that is going to be an added expense.

I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor. And today, we are going to be talking about how to wear our baseball pants high. There are two ways to wear our pants high. One way is we pull our pants up and you kind of let your pants be loose all the way through your whole, your whole leg. This is also a personal preference. Anyway you would like to wear them where your pants are loose. Another way, another way that a lot of people do it is they fold, they fold their pants underneath and the roll them. And as they roll them and it's important to be careful not to, not to roll too much but more of a folding motion rather than a rolling motion. Therefore getting rid of the wrinkles but still allowing you to wear your pants high. Okay. There's, there's the difference in the two ways to wear them. You can either roll them underneath or you can pull them and let them kind of bunch up. Either way, it allows you to wear your pants high. I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor. And we've just explained how to wear baseball pants high.

Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and today we're talking about little league. Once you've enrolled your child and you've filled out all of your forms and everything is ready to go, you're going to want to pick up the uniform. You want to really encourage your child to be very respectful of the uniform. It always has to look neat and clean at the start of a game even though it doesn't end up that way normally by the end of a game. But really install in your child a sense of pride little league is a staple of Americana and it really needs to be treated with respect. So when you're done playing the game, make sure that your child if they're old enough and do their own laundry that they wash their uniform quickly and if not be sure that you do that. That you remove any grass stains, that you wash it as directed so that next time your child goes out to play in the uniform they'll show up looking nice and neat and doing the uniform proud.

I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor. Today, we're going to be talking about how to correctly wear a baseball hat. Now, that depends on whether or not you want to be able to see the game. The correct way is going to be the comfortable way, whatever is comfortable to you. Preferably, you know the hat is to block the sun. As you can see right now the hat is blocking the sun from my eyes so that I can see what is going on right now. If I was to wear my hat too tall, I would not be able to see because the sun is in my face. If I am too low, now I can't see the game and what's going on and if it is to the side, now I can no longer see either because the sun is in my face again. So, as far as the correct way to wear the baseball hat, I'm going to say that it is whatever is comfortable to you as long as you're able to see the baseball, field the baseball, catch the baseball and throw the baseball, making you a better baseball player. I'm Jory Jensen, baseball instructor, and we just talked about the correct way to wear a baseball hat.

BEN GRAHAM: Uniforms are important to the game of baseball. Some of our most famous teams, the Red Sox for example, are named after pieces of their uniform. The Red Sox take their name from the fact that they originally wore red socks. The White Sox got their name by wearing white socks in the beginning. Socks were very important in the early days of baseball.

Normally, your sock would be a standard white sock with a particular team-colored stripe going up to the side. That would lead into your baseball pants. These are usually made out of a thin material today, a synthetic material. Originally, they were made out of cloth, cotton, sometimes linen in the early days of baseball. These, generally, go all the way down to the ankles. Sometimes, they are worn up just above the calf muscle.

Another part of the uniform, the part that most teams take the most pride in today is the jersey. Right now, I'm wearing a standard batting practice jersey. You'll see this before the game a lot of the times. The actual jersey itself will be a buttoned-down jersey in Major League Baseball. In the collegiate level, they normally do wear it tucked into the uniform. You'll usually have your team logo right above the heart, symbolizing that you are keeping your team close to your heart. Sometimes that will be for a home jersey, you'll see the logo. On the road, sometimes, you'll just see the city name worn across the chest.

The hat is also a very important piece of the baseball uniform. It doesn't just hide the hair. It's not just a fashion accessory. This does serve a purpose on the field as it blocks the sunlight and creates a little bit of shade if you're in the outfield, especially. You can look up into the sky and tuck your hat, and that will help you to find the ball.

The baseball uniform is basically unchanged since the inception of the game. Sometimes, they've been looser. Sometimes, they've been tighter. But the basics--the jersey, the pant, the sock--those things have all remained, basically, the same throughout the history of baseball. And that's the uniform.
