The mitts should be 60 feet long and furled up. You stand on the base you occupy, unfurl your mitt and voila, you just stole the next base.

Every time you get on base, it is an automatic run scored.

225 Tyga, I agree with you on this one. Sports are becoming watered down. A.D. hurts his little pinky, “I think I’ll sit out 8 games while my pinky heals”. Give me a break. This past year we had an NFL stubbed his toe. Out for 4 weeks. Maybe we should give them colors and coloring books on the bench to ease their little feelings. God forbid we have any men playing men sports.

Gavin Dugas missed a good portion of his senior year due to a compound fractured finger, sliding into home. Ugly or not, it does prevent finger injuries.

Accidents happen. If a player doesn’t want to possibly get a part of their body hurt, don’t play !!! Take up checkers or chess, or go to the library.

While I have no problem with the oven mitts and I think the OP is dumb, I believe Dugas actually wears one and they dont protect the thumb which is where is ligament is torn.

I was searching to do the same thing.

Between this thread, and this kid thinking he could convince Devin White to stay by posting a hash tag in every thread, he is one of the worst of the worst on this board.

The premise of the OP was that the hand doesn't need protecting at all. You want to defend that?

Dumb take... Very dumb.

That's like saying, "don't drive a car if you're going to wear a seat belt".

See how dumb you sound?

The saddest part about this entire thread is that there are 49 other people on this site that agreed with him.
