History states what the teams wore had been changing with ways to show their team colors. When players began to wear knickers in the 1800's, long socks were worn. Stirrups socks with the team color were worn. The stirrup socks are worn on top of the long white socks and they were called "santitaries". Since the stirrup socks had to be dyed to match the team color. the wearer wore them over the "santiaries" to prevent touching the dyed stirrup sock, thinking the dye in the stirrups were a health hazzard. This type of sock had a loop that went under the foot. The loop on this sock showed the white part of a sock with a foot. Today, more high school and colleges baseball teams continue to wear stirrups. the reason why the baseball players began to wear knickers in the first place was the following: While running the legs of their 1800 pantaloons (pants) would get caught in their legs and hindered their running. Baseball players in those days began to tape or tie the legs of the pants close to their legs or stick them in their socks. Soon the short pant or knicker pants were being worn instead of having to tape or tie the pant legs. 1/3/2009 Shirl Pino - Tamaya, New Mexico Feel Free to edit. Thanks.

After a batter has hit a ball and runs to first base he is allowed to over run the bag (base) ... If the base runner turns left in the siltiest way it is seen as if his going for 2nd base (even if he walks back to first) he can be tagged out ...

After 1960-61 with only one major league baseball team in the Big Apple, a few men from Major League Baseball decided to create an expansion team in New York, the New York Metropolitans, today known as the Mets. The new team took one of the colors from each former New York teams, the Giants and the Dodgers, and so the interlocking NY was blue and orange. The Metropolitans got off to an abysmal start to their time as a professional team, but in 1969, a mere 7 years from their terrible start, the "Amazin'" Mets won the World Series over Baltimore in 5 games. Summing up, the New York Mets have been in existence since 1962.

That was June 8, 1986 for the Kansas City Royals against the Minnesota Twins. Cone replaced Royals starter Bret Saberhagen and pitched one inning, the ninth. He gave up one run on three hits as the Twins won 5-2.
