A question for ASA slow pitch guys
Help settle a debate. I realize this is kind of silly, but...

If you're working a game wearing shorts, do you wear white or black socks?

It is obviously a local decision, but the three-ringed, white pull-ups, I believe, are the preferred uniform. However, it does depend on where you are standing at the time.

OK. Sounds like the concensus is white socks...but white socks looks SO dorky with black shoes.

When I wear shorts, I'm also wearing sandles - so no socks for me.

Around here it's customary to wear shorts in the summer SP leagues. The white socks seem to be venturing into Felix Unger land.

The Irish and his tube socks is a little too much to think about.

I would prefer to wear black socks but our UIC says no.

I play in tennis tournaments and I get to wear black socks,like Andre Agassi, and I look so much cooler than the other kids.

Mike - I agree with most of what you say but I can't imagine anyone thinking that full size socks with black shoes and shorts look better than the ankle socks. With the ankle socks the socks become less noticeable altogether IMHO.

Well, not everyone looks that good with fullly-bared legs, either. Do I believe there could probably be more durable socks made available? Yeah, to a point. Then again, the white pull-ups have always lasted me a season

If a state UIC will permit the wearing of shorts for SP championship play, I don't think it is too much to ask that you wear the requested uniform, do you?

Can you point to me in the rules or umpire manual where shorts are part of the approved uniform for SP championship play?
