Its not a superstition thing as much as it is a cosmetic thing.  Players who wear high socks do it as an alternative to tucking the pantlegs under the legs themselves.  This way there is extra padding by the knee as well as the socks are all the way up.  The look is solid, and the comfort of not having the pants moving all over is great.

I guess its like big breasted women, people like to stare at them. I doubt people are thinking ''hes a hustler'' They may be thinking '' He stuffed a pair of socks down there to make it look big'' \nHowever if you're that conscious about it, is there not jock strap or something to make the bulge appear less? Don't wear tight clothing or wear longer shirts that don't need to be tucked in.

Not just non caucasion....black men and those who wish they were. Yes, it is a very popular "pose" here as well. I dont think it is that they are holding their goods. It is that they are holding their pants up. They wear them so low that they have to keep them up somehow, and by holding their crotch, they can keep their pants from falling to their knees and maintaining a studly stance. It serves a function as well as fashion. Lol!!!!!

Sometimes at half time or between quarters/periods teams will have two guys or girls wear inflated sumo costumes with big black hair helmets and have them sumo wrestle each other.

Most wear regular underwear because boxers can ride up on you when you run.  Also, you need regular underwear if you want to wear the shorts that are like under armor.  These shorts protect you when you slide and are underneath the players uniform shorts.

Of course not. They are just sportsmen. WOudl you think that tennis players have a specific genetic makeup?\n\n_____\n\nJames the quetsion was whether Sumo wrestlers belong to a SPECIFIC gneetic makeup. Not whthere there are multiple genetic factors involve din becoming a SUmo wrestler. Those are very different subjects.\n\nAnd of course there is no SPECIFIC genetic makeup of Sumo wrestlers. There may be GENERIC genetic factors at play but definitely nothing specific.

I think they are not intentionally showing theirs, it is just because they want to feel comfortable. You know playing tennis is not easy you will sweat a lot and most of the entire game you end up running the court. Wearing bra will distract their performance on court.

There tight because you need them tight so the other wrestlers body parts don't get caught on your clothing, they smell like sweat because you and your opponent our sweating and the singlet absorbs some sweat

Probably because when they lift the dumbells, they are watching how the muscles contract in full length mirrors.\n\nAnyone who spends all day looking at their physique is bound to become vain.\n\nIn my opinion, muscly is gross!!!!!

They Would look stupid sitting on the bench Naked ...\n\nOk, here goes - I do believe it is a tradition thing - back in the day managers also played as well. From a practical standpoint baseball is played outdoors on a field with dirt as a component, in the summer so I do not think a suit would hold up very well. \n\nI would not be surprised however to see a shift in the not so distant future to managers and coaches wearing co-ordinated and officially licensed MLB gear like their counterparts in the NFL do. The reason for this shift would of course be money. Reebok, Addidas, Nike and whoever would compete to be the licensee for offical MLB dugout clothing. This would then also allow this gear to be sold and marketed to the generall public as such with MLB getting a small cut I'm sure.\n\nJust my opinion

its probably just personal prefrence, some guys prefer a little less confinement some prefer to keep everything in check\n\nright now boxers are "trendier"

I think people wear underclothing to absorb the sweat and to protect their clothes from stains.  Underclothing also creates modesty as well.

its usually underarmor or some equivalent spandex like material.  It is used to keep the muscles compresses to avoid tightening up
