What Do Baseball Players Wear?

Each player should have a shirt or jersey, knee-length or longer pants, baseball socks / stirrups, shoes with rubber cleats, and a hat to shield the hot summer sun from their face and eyes. The catcher will also have protective equipment, including a helmet, facemask, throat guard, chest-protector, protective cup (this is NOT optional) and shin guards. All other male players should consider wearing a protective cup, especially those in contact with the ball and sliding opponents often (i.e infielders).
