31 Years Ago, Baseball's Worst Uniform

The 1970's was a decade that saw some pretty horrific baseball uniforms but tomorrow marks the anniversary of my favorite uniform experiment gone awry. For some reason on August 8, 1976 the Chicago White Sox decided to don these gems for the first game of a double header against the Kansas City Royals. They ditched the shorts ensemble for the second game and never wore them again.



Game Played on Sunday, August 8, 1976 (D) at Comiskey Park I
_KC A 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 - 2 8 2
CHI A 0 0 0 1 0 2 2 0 x - 5 7 0

Note:
The ChiSox stole five bases that game, which is pretty odd for a team that only had 120 steals for the entire year...they must have been daring each other.

I'd like to see video of that game. I wonder if anyone slid feet first?
