During Thursday night’s Braves-Marlins game, Braves outfielder Cameron Maybin decided to break out the super-high stirrups. You rarely ever see today’s baseball players rocking the stirrups, much less ones as high as the ones that Maybin wore last night. Although I’m not the biggest fan of stirrups (sue me), it’s always nice to see guys mix up their sock game in baseball. It’s a nice change of pace, and gives the players a chance to show off some personality.
Unfortunately, if you liked the look then I hope that you got your fill last night. Apparently the Braves told Maybin “no more stirrups.” We got this word from the man himself:
It’s a bummer for Maybin and a bummer for lovers of stirrups and unique baseball socks, everywhere. Maybe one day the Braves will loosen up? Who knows.
