Lil Bit Special Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 When people say most I get sensitive. In a gay type of way. When people say most to me, I assume they arent including me in the most pile. Like in: Most Mets fans are jealous of the Yankees. or Most Mets fans are gay.

Lil Bit Special Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Posada doesn't wear batting gloves, so he actually uses his urine so he doesn't get blisters. http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/web/COM1040007/index.htm Vladimir Guerrero, Angels Rightfielder "I tried to use batting gloves at the beginning of every spring training up until 1999," says Guerrero (currently hitting .309), one of a handful of major leaguers who bat bare-handed. "It just didn't feel good." While other Ungloved Ones may use pickle juice or rubbing alcohol to toughen their hands -- the Giants' Moises Alou sprinkles urine on his -- Guerrero does nothing special. "My hands got tough from pulling ropes tied to cattle when I was a kid [in the Dominican Republic]," he says. Doug Mirabelli, Red Sox Catcher Mirabelli (.206) first took off the gloves while in Double A in 1996 and says batting bare-handed helps him get a better sense of the way he's hitting. "I can feel exactly where I hit the ball because of the sensitivity with the vibrations coming down the bat," he said. "I like the positive and negative reinforcements that I get from not wearing batting gloves. It lets you know if you hit it good or if you didn't, so you can make adjustments." Craig Counsell, Diamondbacks Second baseman After seeing teammate Mark Grace bat bare-handed in 2001, Counsell (.295) gave it a try; his knuckles have been naked ever since. "For me, it's more comfortable," said Counsell, who wears gloves during batting practice to prevent calluses. "I'm surprised more guys don't do it; a lot of people are looking for a better feel, and I think it does give you that feel. But I think batting gloves have become such a part of the uniform that [most] guys just never do it anymore." Doug Mientkiewicz, Mets First baseman Mientkiewicz (.216) recalls a painful at bat during an early-season game at Yankee Stadium when he played for the Twins in 2003. "It was snowing, and I went out with batting gloves on," he said. "[ Yankees catcher] Jorge Posada, who doesn't wear batting gloves, called me a choice word, and he got in my head. I took the gloves off, and I hit one off the end of the bat. [Posada] was laughing at me when I got to first because he saw how much pain I was in."

The urea in urine softens the hands, which any good skin lotion will do. But ballplayers are superstitious and will do whatever they feel gives them an edge, even if its just mental.

Pickle juice worked for Nolan Ryan when he needed to toughen up his skin. Ryan cut his finger tips catching insects as a youngster, and that spot would become irritated after pitching. The Mets had him soak the tips in pickle juice. Did the trick. Remember thisf rom a book I read in 5th grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
