eh…on the dan patrick show yeserday, there were like 5 ppl on that said that even when its wiped off and not visable anymore, there is still tackyness that remains for a good while unless strong chemicals or whatnot are used to remove it. so i’m sure he still had soem effect of it. also, they showed pics of the same spot of his hands from last series too. i dont really care, but baseball fans should be happy that something like this came about, because its the only thing thats made any headlines.
