[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 3284918, member: 41074"] Some of you more "seasoned" OSA members may remember Mike Hargrove, aka "The Human Rain Delay." I saw him a few times when he played for the Texas Rangers. "Before every pitch, Hargrove would step out of the batter's box following each pitch and: adjust his helmet; adjust his batting gloves making sure they fit exactly right especially around the thumbs; pull each sleeve up about an inch; wipe each hand on his uniform pants; reach back to adjust his rear pockets; knock the dirt from his cleats - both feet - with the bat; flex his shoulders; adjust the gloves again; rub his nose; adjust the rubber ring to protect his thumb; and then repeat the entire sequence."
