How to Dress to Play Baseball
Baseball is a game that has no time limit and will last for as long it takes to complete the game. If a player does not dress appropriately for the game, it can make the length of the game seem even longer than it is. Couple that with the fact that baseball is a summer sport played in hottest months of the year a player must dress correctly to play baseball.

Make note of the start time for the baseball game. If the game is during the day it can get especially hot but if it is a night game, the temperature may be cold, depending on the climate of the game's location.

2
Bring some form of shaded eyewear to wear during a game especially if you play in the outfield, which requires looking up into sun to catch the baseball. A popular baseball dress accessory is the flip down shades, which allow a player to flip the shades down or up over his or her eyes depending on the field conditions (see Resources).

Check the weather report before the game to determine the possible field conditions. If the forecast calls for rain, a person may want to use longer baseball cleats on the shoes for more traction on the wet field.

4
Choose clothes that are loose fitting. If you were to dress in tight clothes for an entire baseball game, you'd become uncomfortable on the field.

5
Dress in light colors if possible because dark colors absorb heat and can cause a player to overheat during a game. Light colored clothing reflects the sun's rays and can help a player stay cool on the field.

6
Wear comfortable socks that will absorb the sweat during a game. Because a person is on his feet a lot during the game, wearing comfortable sweat absorbing socks can keep the feet free of blisters that playing baseball can cause.
