Jabroni Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) "Performance-enhancing contact lenses?" http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3559064 These contact lenses make reds stand out more so players can pick up the seams of a baseball. Joe Mauer is also wearing them -- big surprise! :rolly These things will probably be banned by the MLB soon. Maybe Crede is wearing them?

They would ban those particular kind of contacts. I doubt that NIKE is selling prescription contact lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I read this story a couple days ago. Supposedly the ones players are using right now are only good for day games. These things are the blue blockers of contact lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valponick Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Not sure if this has been posted or not, no wonder Brian Roberts is off to such a hot start. Just kidding, I think these are great and hope to see more players wearing them. Also, I think we need to get Jermaine Dye fitted for some ASAP. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3559064?GT1=6444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I remember after Glaus had laser-eye surgey two off-seasons ago, he started tearing the cover off the ball as well. Pretty darn interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: or frank using aluminum bats in BP??? It's a tough line to draw because you could argue that it's not much different from one player using pure, natural, God-given vision and one wearing contacts. The contacts are enhancing the performance of the player with worse vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
