Apparently the Velcro batting gloves need constant adjusting. Have you seen more creative ways batters use to pass the time between pitches?
Spitting is a time-tested favorite. Willie Stargell used to swing his bat like a windmill.
Nomar’s famous toe dance used to drive us (as fans) nuts, to say nothing of the opposing pitcher!
Yeah, checking their family jewels. I guess to make sure they are still there. In the case of A-Roid, I’m not so sure.
I like the guys who don’t wear batting gloves like Evan Gattis. He gets right to hacking away.
Wish I could remember which announcer it was but one of them said the invention of velcro added at least 20 minutes to every MLB game.
Last night I was paying particular attention to Miguel Cabrera when he was up with the bases loaded and nobody out. Ball one. Before the next pitch he adjusted his jock strap, if he was wearing one, three times. He must have distracted the pitcher because he got three more balls.
For a total of five?
