What's Up With MLB Players' Pants?

I can't stand it when guys like Manny Ramirez, Barry Bonds and countless others wear their pants stretched over the bottom of their shoes. It's looks ridiculous.
And for that matter what happened to the leggins that players wore with their pants pulled up their knee? 'Now that's a look you can set your watch to'...to quote Grandpa Simpson.
Believe it or not the 2002-'06 MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement actually includes a section on uniform regulations, including pant length. According the MLB Hall of Fame website the CBA has "no fewer than seven regulations regarding pants, limiting the pant length to be no lower than the top of the shoe heel and discouraging the baggy pant look."
It makes you wonder how all of these guys are getting away with wearing their pants all baggy and gangsta-like and no one has heard a word from Bud Selig. But if getting away with wearing baggy pants is the least of what players are getting away with, then I guess Bud is happy. Sadly, though, that's not the truth.
By the way: Am I the only one that was glad to see that Barry Bonds didn't get a job? Just wondering. Hopefully no teams will get desperate at the trade deadline and go after him.
Thanks for reading my first post on the Atlanta Sports Desk and check in with me anytime.
