If he plays, you won't hear any of it, but yes, Yaz would've played with it taped tight and not just when he was young, but when he was in his late 30's and early 40's. Whatever happened to athletic tape? It's gone the way of the Dodo bird. I guess only boxers use it today. You never see a baseball player taped up. The pampered princesses all have to be pain free to play. We'll see if Pedroia is a throwback. I hope that he is. A one handed Pedroia is better than Punto any day of the week.
