Pilling or Snagged Shirts

[nicshow]

My powder blue shirts are all pilling on the left side. It must have something to do with my West vest and my left arm when behind the plate...and more righty hitters than lefties. Anyway, just wondering if there are any shirts that are less prone to pilling. I have it happening to Honigs, Smitty and Cliff Kean.

I use Smitty, Honig's and Majestic and have never had any issues like that.

Looks like the problem is you.

Might possibly be the washer.  Had it happening to some poly wool pants when using a washer at a hotel in Phoenix last fall. Doesn't happen to them at home.

Since it's on the left side on every shirt, it's got to be where the harness on the West vest is sticking out or something like that. Funny thing is, though, none of my navy baseball shirts have it.

I think I discovered the source of the snagging. I believe the velcro ends of my hask harness are catching and pulling on my shirt fabric when I hold my mask. Time for the gaffers tape!
