uni watch uni watch
it dawned on me in about the 4th inning of today's softball game that one of the guys whocame out to play was Paul Lukas of Beer Frame and Uni Watch fame. then i noticed that he was the only person playing who was wearing stirrups. they were pulled up to his calves, which fits right in with his fetish for the more traditional style of uniform as opposed to the abomination that is the modern pajama-style, full-length pants. his shirt, however, was untucked so i have to deduct some points for that (the fact that no one else was tucked in is beside the point). he was on the opposing team, so i didn't get a good look at some of the smaller details of his outfit, but i'll try to sneak a glance next time to see whether he has any visible logos, patches or bad color combinations.
***UPDATE*** looks like i shoud have read to the end of his column before posting this, as he included a link to a picture of himself in his softball regalia.

Did anyone else see "Uni Watch" and first think of sea urchin roe? I guess I've been watching too much "Iron Chef."
I remember being jealous of the kids in Little League who got the high-cut stirrups. I always ended up with the low-cut ones and was forever trying to stretch them out.

I remember stirrups as the bane of my Little League/Babe Ruth existence. Damn things never stayed up unless tape was involved.
