Sliding mitts in the MLB are fun. Last year, I blogged about Elly De La Cruz’s ice cream mitt appearing on a Topps Now card.
Today’s kids want to wear these MLB sliding mitts even if the league has rules against head-first sliding. This AP News article, Sliding mitts are taking over youth baseball, includes a video with the caption, “When they ask for $70 sliding mitts, but the moms get them dollar store oven mitts instead“
Oh man. This made me LOL.
A kid running on the baseball diamond with an oven mitt on. I would yell out, “The fries! Quick, to the oven! The fries are burning!”
