That said, it IS entirely possible that a uniform is meant to be worn untucked. Remember the Chicago White Sox back in the late 70's? (LOL)!!!

Who cares about the Chisox?

The uniform should be worn properly which means if it extends below the waste, the shirt should be tucked in.

However, I'm not going to make it a 150 minute game screwing with uniforms. However, if an untucked shirt is hit by a pitched ball, guess what? Batter, stay here. Defender swipes at a runner and tags the shirt, out!

Where can any discussion on this go?
