Who Killed Stirrups

It has been about a decade since baseball players started wearing ankle-long (even longer) pants and hiding the beautiful curve of stirrups. I’m not a great fan of the low-cut type but love the way guys were wearing them before this era. The very first player who had the way is Mimura Toshiyuki (三村敏之) of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp (広島東洋カープ). The top part of the longer loop was just covered by his pants and the shorter one was all shown. It was so cool.
