By the time I got to Senior Minor and Senior league, we had a combination of a solid sock and the dreaded faux-stirrup (the sock with the dorky stripe up the side). But, I do agree, they were kinda annoying to wear. I still think it looks good! I think it's why I like Geno Espineli so much. @Paul and Lars

I think it’s why I like Geno Espineli so much.

It's hard to screw up the basic Orange and Black. I used to hate wearing stirrups when I was in Little League, but now I think they're awesome! They should totally bring them back.

When I played, I used to hate wearing the stirrups. I do like the look, but they used to feel weird and I was always pulling them up.

My favorites by far are the 70s uniforms. I have fond memories of the '83 Fleer and Topps baseball card sets with players like Fred Breining, Vida Blue, and Gary Lavelle sporting the black uniforms! I thought it was cool this year when they wore those same uniforms on one of the throwback days--I believe Zito was pitching that day. I came of age as a Giants fan around the same time as you, though I'm a bit older. I was at the 1989 NLCS game where Will got the winning hit off of Mitch Williams, and Steve Bedrosian came in to save it. Awesome game. I also saw Ernie Riles hit the supposed 10,000 home run in Giants history (though that achievement was much disputed in the weeks after it happened). I could go on and on...I'm sure most people who post here have a favorite "I was there" moment in Giants history. Fodder for another post? Enjoyed this post. My favorites by far are the 70s uniforms.
