Tonight Buck and McCarver mentioned the sanitary socks that baseball players wear; I always knew they were called sanitaries, but I was never quite sure why. So I looked it up.
In baseball’s early days, the dyes used in stockings were not colorfast, so a spike wound could easily get an unhealthy dose of colored dye. Wearing a white stocking underneath the colored hose would help eliminate the problem, but the double thickness of socks meant that a player’s shoe no longer fit properly. The solution, introduced during the first decade of the 20th century, was the colored stirrup stocking. The innovative sock allowed for a protective layer of material around the leg but a single thickness of material in the shoe. Since the white stockings worn underneath the stirrup stockings provided a sanitary layer of protection, they were dubbed “sanitaries.”

More inciteful commentary from Buck and McCarver. All we need is Morgan on the air say "That's the key" about once every 5 minutes and then proclaiing how Donny Gullett was the greatest pither of all time.

I figured I'd get a hard time for this; oh well, I think Buck and McCarver or losers as much as anyone else.

What we need to do is get McCarver to start telling some jokes.
yeah, preferably some African American Jokes too ..
I mean whats left, in the last year, Lyons has made fun of the Jews, the handicapped and now hispanics, what could possibly be left to mock during a baseball game, other than making fun of the blacks.
