Question from a baseball umpire
After halftime during the Cowboys-Ravens game, they showed the Cowboys leaving the locker room and a referee was "patting down" some of the players jerseys as they exited, but not all of them. Looked like just linemen.
What was he checking thier jersey or pads for? |
Answer from a baseball guy:
I remember reading something about officials making spot checks for illegal substances on the uniforms. Something about guys putting greasy stuff on their jerseys to make it harder to grab onto them. |
I noticed that to....
Thanks for asking. That was my guess- Vaseline on the jerseys.

I once read umpire Chad Brown's book. I believe it was titled "The Meatgrinder" or something like that. It mentioned that each week players were randomly chosen to have their uniforms checked for illegal substances before the game.

It was the Cowboys locker room......they could have been looking for guns or drugs.
