Comments on: Carlos Guillen To Climber: Where’d You Get That Suit? http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2008/04/29/carlos-guillen-to-climber-whered-you-get-that-suit/ The Obsessive Study Of Athletics Aesthetics Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:58:34 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: john http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2008/04/29/carlos-guillen-to-climber-whered-you-get-that-suit/#comment-260295 john Fri, 02 May 2008 19:46:16 +0000 http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2008/04/29/carlos-guillen-to-climber-whered-you-get-that-suit/#comment-260295 The answer for the wrist band question is that in college baseball the pitching coaches often call the pitches, and as a result sign picking is very common. To counter this practice, a system where the catcher will have a grid with different pitches in the boxes on his arm.(Think Battleship). For instance, the pitching coach will flash the number 1, 2, then 5, and the catcher will then look at column 12, row 5, and see curveball. The cards can be changed every inning and there are no repeats, so it is unpickable. I have heard of some teams giving a wrist band to the whole team and running all of their signs off of them, but this is less common.

He chose to wear the regular ball cap instead of that stupid T hat that the rest of the team wore.

here is an example of the same treatment on the home uni

looks like the alts get filled in with white

as do the away unis with blue again
