July 10, 200521 yr after this horrible weekend I went to vent at the batting cages and actually did quite well....until I looked at my hand and realized I got Joshed... theres a nasty blister dying to burst open... ...just thought you'd all like to know that Josh isnt the only one in South Florida getting blistered...

July 11, 200521 yr Author oh yeah I do have batting gloves...something went wrong this time though...and I never felt the stupid thing build up...I took the gloves off and bam there it was...funny thing, it has a #21 on it...
July 11, 200521 yr yeah this has happened to me before im like posada,alou,burnitz,and vlad i dont use batting gloves.but i wonder how these guys avoid getting blisters.
July 11, 200521 yr Calouses (easier for a batter to build calouses than pitchers, because the blisters appear on different parts of the hand)
July 11, 200521 yr yeah this has happened to me before im like posada,alou,burnitz,and vlad i dont use batting gloves.but i wonder how these guys avoid getting blisters. 850183[/snapback] Don't Alou and Posada urinate on their hands?
July 11, 200521 yr i thought it was well known.. he said it him self "urinates to toughen before game time" how about giving him a high five? now there where yuou need batting gloves!
July 11, 200521 yr from the original ESPN story: Alou says the secret to hitting without batting gloves is to harden your hands and prevent calluses. One of his methods might win someone the prize money on the TV show, "Fear Factor." He urinates on his hands. That's the honest truth. Alou said he isn't sure where he learned this distasteful folk medicine, but it wasn't from his famous father. And it works for Moises.

July 11, 200521 yr offthe field injurys, what a waste. Trust me here, you will want to use a better quality glove. One with not only grip, but padding for the parts of your hand that act up. Find the glove that is as close to yur situation as possible. You will hee a huge difference, trust me.
July 11, 200521 yr Get some decent batting gloves. Don't be a cheapass and get the $5 Franklins from Wal-Mart.
