==Baseball Apparel==
The traditional outfit for a baseball player consists of tightly fitting pants which cut off at the ankle or knee, a baseball shirt or jersey, baseball cleats, knee-length socks and a baseball cap. Most baseball leagues require players to have a unique number on the back of the jersey. <ref>Austen, Jane (1803) ''[Baseball Uniforms and Baseball Apparel http://www.hitrunscore.com/baseball-uniforms.html]''</ref>
