How the hell did Boone not know about this? - Will Hunting Aug 17, 07:54 1
- He's only been here 6 months. Was this known by the Red Sox and Dodgers as well? Has no one thought to have him get it checked out after - Krusty Aug 17, 08:00
Marian Hossa ended up retiring from the NHL over something similar. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 07:06 4
- Also, he says he's been dealing with this for going on three seasons. How is it that he's waited all this time to get it checked out? - Krusty Aug 17, 07:16 2
  - all of the hitting records before 1970 were achieved without a single batting glove that i'm aware of -- nm - mr mooch Aug 17, 08:06 1
    - I would have thought that too but apparently guys were using golf gloves. The article says Maris wore them during the season he hit 61 HRs. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 08:09
- I heard about that from people on reddit. Hopefully modern allergy medicine can help people dealing with it today. The docs in the article mention - Krusty Aug 17, 07:12
