I know that Jake Peavy bats without gloves and you don't normally see that nowadays. Are there any other player today that don't use batting gloves? I'd like to see more players bat without them. Would that affect their batting average or just their manicures?

I believe that Vladamir Guerrero and Moises Alou don't wear them. -
Alou urinates on his hands. He believes it toughens them up.Originally posted by ipitch View Post
Maybe he should wear gloves.
All the time.Comment

Posada does the samething, he also dosen't wear batting gloves maybe it's a puerto rican ballplayer thing. Posada says he does it because he is a catcher I don't know why Alou would do it.Originally posted by whoisonit View Post39 AL Pennants • 26 World Series titles

I know Posada does, it's like when they put there hands in pickel rhine, I guess. To toughen up their hands so they don't get blisters or something I don't know I still wouldn't piss on my hands.Originally posted by Seattle1 View Post39 AL Pennants • 26 World Series titles

Mark Grace used to bat without gloves.Comment

Gregg Zaun has been back and forth this season. I think he started gloveless, and then started using a glove on his bottom hand (he switch hits). I think at one point he was wearing them on both batting right handed, and only on his right hand when batting left handed.WAMCO!Comment
