Having basically no power off the bench has sucked. Not saying it's needed, but the option is nice. Hoff and Ward both available for PH roles should be beast.
Man, I just went through it looking for photos of the old timey innings and the first 25 pages or so are killer. If there's ever a thread HOF here, that's up near the top.
he wasn't rubbing the ball on his wrist sorry I didn't explain it well. He was using his free hand to wipe sweat off his wrist then spreading it on the ball. Putting any substance purposefully on the ball to have an advantage other than rosin (the reason for rosin is to prevent people's hand sweat from getting on the ball) is illegal. I don't think anyone noticed and he could only do it during a mound visit so its not a big deal just worth noting. What if a guy has really sweaty hands? Is wrist sweat somehow magically more useful than hand sweat?
