Re: batting gloves

I find the numbers being thrown about in regards to batting gloves hard to believe.

Re: batting gloves

How about at the minor league level? I would think players could not afford to use that many batting gloves during the season. I have not really seen players give them away and I attend games regularly. I did see a few given away the last day of the season though and some players went to their locker and came out after the game was over and threw a few in the stands. Any thoughts....

Re: batting gloves

Have you ever seen the alternate ending to that movie? It's on one of the special dvd special features.

The movie ends with the owner saying that she was such a B*&*^% because she knew that was the only way it would motivate them to win...and that her planned actually worked. They re-shot it with the ending that we all know and love...

Haven't seen that. Definately got to check it out. Thanks!

Willie Mays Hayes would change them out after every stolen base.

Re: batting gloves

With spring training, batting practice and 162 games, I would guess the number is pretty high. Wouldn't surprise me at all if a player had close to 100 pairs of batting gloves at the MLB level.

Re: batting gloves

It really depends on the player if you ask me. I heard David Freese say in spring training he uses them until they wear out, but on the other hand Matt Holliday will sometimes rip 2-3 pairs off a game if he hits into some tough luck. I would say the average player uses a pair every game or two, but who knows.

about how many pairs of batting gloves do players go through in a season?
