You don’t see spitballs much…..since Gaylord Perry retired.
Next time they should put the sanitizer on the ball, it gets the ball and their hands at the same time.
Norm does something right and Ralph has to wreck it with a dose of reality!
There isn’t supposed to be SPIT on it – and even if, the sneaky “spitballers” wouldn’t use actual SPIT… :-P
I always brought my mitt to games but never got a ball (heavy sigh).
In today’s game if a pitcher throws one in the dirt he gets a new ball. Back in the day of pitching’s golden era a pitcher would WANT that scuffed ball. Made for better “movement”, especially from the hard throwers!
Has anybody been caught throwing Vasaline balls lately?
The spitball was banned in 1920. More than 100 years ago. It still happens, but unless Mike Fiers is on the mound you’re pretty safe.
Hand sanitizer, my new normal

Anybody remember the term “ hock a loogie”?
He should wear rubber gloves and keep a spare pair, just in case.
