The subpar quality of MLB uniforms was once again on full display during Friday’s matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.
Los Angeles was trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the 7th inning. Dodgers catcher Will Smith hit a line drive to left field and slid into second base for a two-out double. The slide left Smith’s pants in tatters.
The Dodgers lost more than Smith’s trousers. They fell 9-4 to the Mets.
It’s not the first time this season that fans have seen uniform issues from routine baseball plays.
Earlier this month, Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene had his pants separate at the seams after sliding into home plate during an April 9 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
