Cody Bellinger's Pants Latest to Fall Apart During a Slide

The Cubs outfielder will need a new pair.

Major League Baseball players are wearing a different type of uniform this year and the reviews have been, well, not overwhelmingly positive.

For reasons that escape most people's comprehension there was a decision made to move world-class athletes out of beautifully stitched and substantial threads and into a much cheaper, worse-looking uniform one might see at any U13 travel ball tournament in their neighborhood. Much has been made and previously written on these less than stellar getups and if you think that's going to stop then you are sorely mistaken. Because players keep absolutely destroying their pants with routine slides into bases.

Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger was the latest to need new bottoms after he slide into third base legging out a triple during last night's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It wasn't quite the destruction we saw when Riley Greene opened up the entirely of his pant leg a few weeks ago, but what still push the leggings into early retirement. Again, these incidents aren't what anyone wants. Yet no one can deny that the possibility of some good ol' fashioned ripping and tearing adds an extra element of excitement into the game. Maybe Major League Baseball is genius for this.
