The first World Series picture I can find with full length pants is Joe Carter with the Blue Jays in 1993. That means they went 90 years wearing the knickerbocker pants. Jim Thome wore the high socks, because everyone on Cleveland wore the high socks in 1991. Here's their uniform:



Jim Thome has worn high socks his entire major league career. Some player pulled the stirrups high up their legs so little of it would show, which is why many go with the two in one sock now.
