The Curious Case of Baseball Uniforms


Baseball uniforms haven’t always looked sharp. In fact, early players often wore mismatched pieces—some in full suits, others in flannel shirts and suspenders. By the late 1800s, teams began to standardize colors and patterns, and stripes, collars, and even neckties made appearances.

The New York Giants were the first to wear numbered jerseys in the 1910s—a move that helped fans track players and, eventually, fueled the rise of superstar branding.

Today, uniforms are big business—but they started as barely coordinated gear.

The Rise and Fall of the Spitball


Imagine this: It’s 1910, and pitchers are doctoring balls with spit, mud, tobacco juice—whatever they can get their hands on. The infamous spitball gave pitchers crazy movement on their throws, but also made the ball unpredictable and, frankly, kind of gross.

After the tragic death of Ray Chapman (hit by a dirty, hard-to-see ball), the spitball was banned in 1920—though a handful of pitchers were "grandfathered" in and allowed to keep using it.

Some say it was cheating. Others say it was just old-school ingenuity.
