I heavily recommend a good, hot foot bath with Dr. Bronner's famed peppermint soap. AWESOME!

I also strongly recommend a good head bath with any of Anchor Steam's fine line of products:

Congrats on the comeback Steve. I'm going to attempt to jump back in the saddle myself next weekend. I've been off for the last year because of my back. Not sure if I can make nine, I'll find out soon.

Well, another weekend with four 9-inning adult games, each going 3 hours +. I'm not sore this time, so that's a good sign. Both days were brutally hot and I hit the Powerade and Gatorade heavy to rehydrate often.
If these players were half as good as they think they are they would be twice as good as they really are.

How hot is it there, Steve? Up in the high 90's up here!! When I know I'm working in the heat I hydrate all day prior to the game, and of course during the game!! And naturally, I enjoy a cold one or two after the game...

High 80's on the coast, mid to upper 90's inland, where my games were. But it's the high humidity that really sucks.

Very effective tool: Saturate your wicking compression undershirt in cool water before you put it on. It cools you for almost an hour, and doesn't really feel very wet. Even pouring a few capfuls of ice water down your chest and back during a game helps to refresh the effect.
Also, this is the age-old cooling remedy:  Shop online Aromatic Ammonia Spirit By Cumberland Swan - 2 Oz at AmericaRx.com You just pour a bottle of this stuff in a tub of ice water and soak towels and handkerchiefs in it. Dab off with these towels and/or line your cap with a handkerchief. (When you see an MLB trainer come out with a wet towel to assist the umpire, quite often it's a towel dipped in an ammonia water solution.)

Doesn't it smell funny?

One or two ounces in a gallon of water with some cubes. It doesn't smell good, but it isn't that objectionable.
I read about it in a biography of Babe Ruth, who was one of the ones who pioneered the practice in baseball. The Babe used ammonia water dipped frozen lettuce leaves in his cap. Last edited by Kevin Finnerty; Mon Sep 21, 2009 at 01:19pm.

I remember seeing Tony Pena putting cabbage leaves on his head once. I believe he was with the Cardinals at the time.
