Ancient Times ...

Thirty-five years ago, when contacts first became popular, we were encouraged to ask captains in pregames who wore contact lenses on their team and to mark it in the scorebook, seemingly to prevent "free" timeouts. That procedure went out of fashion real fast as the number players with contact lenses increased exponentially.
