Default The Batting Glove Effect

Really naysayers.

I, for one, have learned how to use the Velcro fasteners on my batting gloves and they are designed not to slip after every pitch. I think the pitch clock proves this.

The first player that I remember that had to redo his Velcro after every pitch was Nomar Garciaparra. Over the years a large number of younger players have been convinced that this is necessary to remain in the big leagues.

I guess a lot of you fans and Net54 members enjoy playing with Velcro, but do the rest of us enjoy watching the ritual a hundred or more times in a game. I don’t think so.
