You're suggesting Mueller was sitting on the bench with his leg in a cast, his leggings and pants leg pulled up over those bulky '50s casts? You do understand that the break came virtually the day before the World Series started. I think a much more logical explanation is that the uni's "light use" suggests it was never worn at all. I'm sure it was ordered already so they might have given it to Mueller anyway or somebody took it home as a souvenir. Of course, unless you can find a pic of Mueller sitting on the bench with the cast, we'll never know.
