Smitty Tapered Poly Spandex Charcoal Grey Pleated Umpire Base Pants

Mike V., Magnolia, TX

9/10/2025

Why did it take so long for these to come out! No more MC Hammer pants while working the bases and they fit great, like a nice pair of slacks should. I had to buy a size up from my usual base pant size and I had to be remeasured for hemming but that was expected.
