Pissy Posada

Posada has "tough hands"

A lot of people probably were shocked this week to read Cubs outfielder Moises Alou's admission that he urinates on his hands to toughen his hands. Jorge Posada was not among them.

The Yankees' catcher, who along with Alou and Anaheim outfielder Vladimir Guerrero is among a small number of big-league players who hit without batting gloves, said yesterday he does the same thing.

"In spring training only," Posada said. "You don't want to shake my hand in spring training before the game. After the game, it's okay."

Posada said he has done it since he was in the minor leagues, and that he got the idea from his father, Jorge Sr.

"A lot of guys like my father, who worked on the land, always used to do it," Posada said. "It keeps your hands from getting callused and cracking."

Posada said he does it in spring training because he has to get his hands used to gripping the bat after taking the winter off. He also said he's never been able to feel comfortable holding a bat while wearing batting gloves.

"I wish I could wear gloves, honestly," Posada said. "I've tried it. It just doesn't feel right."

Ew. What the hell. If someone tell so you when you are young, "piss on your hands, it makes them more resistant to callousing", what kind of moron actually follows the advice? What little respect I had for this self-pisser is now gone. I bet he wets his bet so he doesn't have to wear a cup.

Imagine how bad that catchers mitt smells in ST.

[yawkeyway]

Gross. I've never heard of this before. Why would he want to come out and say that? It's disgusting! Why would you piss on your hands!?

If you notice Mirabelli doesn't wear batting gloves either. I wonder if he does the "piss" thing.

[Benny9Sox7]

No if you read that artical between the lines it says "Steinbrenner makes us all hold out our hands, takes it out then goes down the line urinating on each and everyone of our hands" says Jorge

lol

How long do you think it is before high school and little league players follow his lead and start pissing themselves. I bet they'll think its cool, since Posada does it and all, and Posada's the man.

I can see it now, a soccer mom walking in on her 10 year old peeing on his hands, trying to ween himself off of batting gloves. :rolleyes:

This is by far the funniest thing I have heard in a while. I had no doubt that Posada is disgusting.
