    MLB says these uniforms were tested more than any before. To be fair, they never said they passed the tests..

      It's downright laughable that they would distribute such trash uniform pants and say that they were "tested" first. Get real. Take them back and get this right, jerks.

      I bought a chinese knockoff online at the same time I ordered an official jersey. I'm not talking BSing when I say the knockoff was of much better quality and 1/4th the price.

    ESPN and these spinoff shows *ONLY* cover the NFL and NBA. Period. Unless there's a non-baseball topic like uniforms, big money signing, or off-the-field incident....AND there's nothing going on in the NFL or NBA....these shows aren't spending more than 5 minutes talking about MLB.
