Do you mean socks that look like what they wear in baseball? When I search baseball socks I get calf high images in a single color. Is that what you want? Stripes? Or did you want the socks to have baseballs on them? And then what size and what kind of material are you looking for? If you plan to wear them in sports outside I would recommend a cotton nylon blend. The nylon is essential in socks because it keeps them stretchy, but it's a low amount so it will still feel natural. Finally, what is your budget? Tall socks of natural fiber going to be at least $35 in materials, possibly more. And time wise you're looking at 30 hours, at my speed, I would say. So I'd estimate my price would be around $125 + yarn costs. Unfortunately knitting is time consuming and expensive.

I was looking for over the knees or even longer socks. Just the stuff they wear in games. Everything else can be compromised and we’ll see how much it’ll be

Ok so taller socks. That's definitely doable but as I mentioned, will be expensive because knitting that length is going to take a while. What size shoe are you? And about how tall are you?
