What material are baseball pants made of?
100% Polyester.
I own a pair of used Miami Dolphins pants. The pants are made in Berlin, Wisconsin by Ripon Athletics under the Reebok brand. I'm not sure if there is a competing brand of pant also in the league (I know players where helmets from different manufacturers). From what I understand though is that these are the standard NFL game pants.
All NFL Uniforms are Manufactured by Ripon (Pants and Jerseys). The licensing agreement currently belongs to Reebok but Nike will take over in 2012. Before Reebok purchased the exclusive agreement with the NFL individual teams had their own agreements, which is why there were team with Nike, Reebok and Puma logos on their uniforms. The licensing was different but the manufacturing was the same.

Can you wear the same cleats for youth football and baseball?
"Football cleats give you more support in the midsole than soccer or baseball cleats," says Joseph Skiba, equipment manager for the New York Giants. "This helps with lateral movement and with things like taking hits or making tackles." With a sturdier feel than a soccer cleat, football cleats keep your feet and ankles from turning. This allows for quick movements and helps keep your feet under you when tackling, blocking or taking hits. So it's probably fine to wear football cleats for baseball or soccer, but you shouldn't wear baseball or soccer cleats for football.

The real answer - most of the top companies have some great bats, some good bats and some duds - and some that perform well but are not durable. What you should be asking is which bat is the best for me. And the answer is - depends: Are you a a power hitter or a contact (line-drive) hitter? Do you have slow bat speed or fast bat speed. In general, power hitters want end-loaded bats with little flex (e.g., one-piece bats) while contact hitters want balanced bats with more flex (e.g., two-piece bats).
