PrintNew socks here (sorry, Twitpic is an a-hole to embed)
I like them, I've always thought the plain black socks were just a touch boring. I like my socks with patterns on them thank you very much.

Reminds me of the socks the Giants debuted in 1933, in the halcyon days of the Polo Grounds with Bill Terry, Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott.

They won the World Series that year, by the way.

They are awesome
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

needs more stirrups
Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti. "I treat Timmy differently from most pitchers: I leave him alone."
Bengie Molina: "I don't understand why they didn't want to commit to another year, with my numbers and my experience and things like that." Brain Sabean: "He's certainly welcomed back with open arms".
Mychael Urban: Wow. Probably Dye at this point. Good outfielder, could adapt to RF at AT&T, good RBI guy.

The orange stripes should be at the top of a black stirrup. That would be awesome.

Hell yeah!
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Those 1933 uniforms are awesome.
If the Giants were to ever change their uniforms, I’d want them to look like those.

I'll be a bit rebellious
I liked the solid black socks. I thought they were classy.
But I guess now that Winn’s gone, we’ve lost most of our class anyway.

I need socks.

We don’t need to hear about your sock fetish.

I’m just going to pretend I never saw that hole. Everything will be fine. It’ll be normal.

/howie's sock
Don’t think I haven’t heard the stories. You prancing around the town with some other sock. The day after we sent shoe-shopping together, you bastard! How do you think that makes me feel?
You wanna know who it was? Remember that BBQ at your brother’s house last week? When you threw me to the side to go swimming? Well I crept into his laundry basket and he wore me last Thursday. He wore me good, he wore me better than you have in years.

What!!? Wait, then how do those sock puppets do it?
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
agree would be better as stirrups
but stripes are fantastic.
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
