For a few weeks before the 2024 MLB season began, all we could focus on was the issue with the uniforms was the white pants were see-through, with the annual Photo Day producing some funny results.
But now, we’ve got a real-life Seinfeld situation — pants are ripping everywhere when players are sliding in 2024.
On Friday, we saw Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith slide in against the New York Mets and a sizeable hole showed up near his knee.
Earlier in the month, the Detroit Tigers’ Riley Greene ripped open the side of his pants sliding into home. Chicago Cubs slugger Cody Bellinger ended up with a hole after sliding into third.
You get the idea. This isn’t great!

Riley Greene ripped his pants sliding during the Tigers comeback win.
How are they still trying to pretend this uniform mishap isn’t an issue?
