I second this.

I was thinking Abbott and Costello "Who's on First?" uniform.

The Royal Rooters may not have made it into the 1920's, but they came close.

Michael T. "Nuf Ced" McGreevy (June 16, 1865 – February 2, 1943) was an American businessman and baseball fanatic. He was the leader of the most vocal fans of the Boston Americans (now the Boston Red Sox), known as the "Royal Rooters", and owner of a Boston bar called the Third Base Saloon.

Shoeless Joe, go barefoot or sandals.

I think you need to realistically think of your guest list and their knowledge. If you go twenties, which I actually have attended several of before. You are getting 97% guests dressed as flappers (this is likely 100% of female guests), well dressed gatsby men in hats, and a couple folks trying to be quirky doing a train tramp with a bandana on a stick and a newsboy. Also, if you have a friend circle like mine, there will be the one person who takes it wayyy to far by adding wires to a thrift store suit to simulate falling for the stock market crash just to verklempt every one easily offended.

The average public will not recognize a specific 20's player no matter who you pick. If you want to go baseball, there is nothing wrong with that. Just don't go overboard with a specific player just to be disappointed that not a single soul gets anything past "baseball guy".

So embrace the cluelessness, just don't take it too far and enjoy "baseball player guy" and you will save money, work, and annoyance at your own party.

Great idea. If someone can make up a mask for Jeff based upon this photo of Landis, he will either be the swellest fella at the party, or be asked to take that sour puss of his and skedaddle.

Not the 20’s but get a Sammy Sosa jersey/ uniform and if you are thin and Caucasian, you could be Sammy Sosa after he quit steroids!

How about going as a big black sock?

Dress up like a baby with a little toy bat and glove, and when people ask who you are, tell them "Ted Williams."

Order this Corn on the Cob costume and put on a neck tie. When people ask, say you're 'Ty Cobb' 😂.
