MOISES ALOU AND WHY HE DOESN'T NEED BATTING GLOVES
I stumbled across this tid-bit of information on ESPN.com from a Gary Miller article...

"Alou says the secret to hitting without batting gloves is to harden your hands and prevent calluses. One of his methods might win someone the prize money on the TV show, "Fear Factor." He urinates on his hands. That's the honest truth. Alou said he isn't sure where he learned this distasteful folk medicine, but it wasn't from his famous father. And it works for Moises."

Umm, wtf?!?!

Dude would rather urinate on his own hands than wear batting gloves? Something is missing here. And you know that he doesn't just urinate on his hands and wash it off. He has to be allowing time for it to all soak in.

If you're an autograph seeker make sure to avoid Moises Alou. He could hit 90 homeruns this year and I'm not going near him. If you do have a Moises Alou autograph I suggest putting it in one of those biohazard things. You should handle that autograph like its the Hanta Virus.
