Each baseman will take a baseman's hat and place it in the dirt/on base before LSU is up to bat. What is the significance?

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean a "baseman's hat"?

I'm sorry, little buzzed and girlfriend typed the OP, the baseball cap. Significance of the baseball cap placement? It's strange and interesting.

who's cap? theirs, another players' cap or a cap just for doing that?

and what do they do with the cap after they've put it on the base/in the dirt next to the base and when do they do it?

I'm only listening to the game on radio so I have no clue what you're talking about.

Ok here is an example: Center fielder has his base ball cap and a glove/or not. Runs to a base places it on the base of in the dirt. Another player comes without a hat or hat and mitt and pick it up and puts it on. I'm in the grand stands an have seen it done every enning. One out away, watch the mysterious unfold.

Grammar/spelling is atrocious, idgaf

They pick up the last out of the inning so the batter or runner on base doesn't have to go back to the dugout.

Is the player who picked up the hat and glove the last player to bat?

Sometimes they do that so the last player to bat doesn't have to walk back to the dugout, then back to their position on defense.

They are helping their teammates out. Keeping them from running all the way in the dugout to get their stuff. Outfielders do it for other outfielders, infielders for infielders...etc.

I'm pretty sure they are cheating. Keep an eye on it and keep us posted. Well let you know. Somebody should tweet CPM.

So they're picking up their teammates and you're confused? Never played or watched baseball before?
