The idea of "manning up" is silly. Do you think Chipper Jones is a wuss for using a glove?

The ball doesn't slow down when it's headed for a non-pro, just cause you don't have a glove.

no, but he's in the field. the odds of a ball coming his way are a lot higher. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 13:21 3
- Like I said, projectiles in flight don't change their velocity based on whether you have a glove or not. - musubi Oct 12, 13:25 2
  - Chipped would be equally adept at getting out of the way of baseballs as he is at catching them... but they pay him to catch them. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 13:26 1
    - Even moreso then. He gets paid, I paid, I have *more* of a right to glove than he does. (nm) - musubi Oct 12, 13:27
no, but he could barehand most fouls that fans deal with, the high loopers....rocket fouls usually head for women on cell phones not paying attention -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:20 2
- My buddy who used to play ball said they used to call those "ugly-finders". - musubi Oct 12, 13:22 1
  - I read this a couple minutes ago and I'm still laughing -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:25
