Sorry. Was just practicing in case I ever get a job writing for a gossip site. I mean a gossip site that isn’t specifically about baseball like HBT. Anyway:
Harper made a diving attempt at an Andres Torres liner and tore his belt in two. The rookie casually walked over to the Washington bullpen and snagged another waistband from a generous teammate.
The MLB.com copy goes on to say that wouldn’t have happened if he was wearing his Olympic unitard. I call b.s. on that. It wouldn’t have happened if Major League Baseball had the good sense to mandate elastic waistband doubleknits like the uber-athletes of yore wore.

Is there a metric for wardrobe malfunction avoidance?

Now’s the time to push for the return of those elastic stretch knits. If Greg Luzinski could snap a bat swinging hard while wearing them, who could possibly object to their return? All current players should have a chance to wear what players, coaches and managers wore in the heady ’70s-’80s. Oh wait – Tommy Lasorda and Joey Amalfitano wore them too. Never mind.

That belt “died a hero.” Saved a run…

How is this a news story? He didn’t even lose his pants and give us a mooning gif we could replay a million times and send to our friends.
