You did WHAT on your hands?!?

Interesting article in the Wall Street Journal today about the former future of the New York Mets, Fernando Martinez. One thing I wish they didn't mention is something I recall applying to both Moises Alou and Yankee catcher Jorge Posada:

"In 2009, while playing in the Dominican winter league, Martinez missed several games because of blisters on his hands. Former Met Moises Alou, the general manager of Martinez's winter ball team, told him to urinate on his hands to make the skin more resilient. 'It worked,' Martinez said."

Unfortunately he says it worked, which means we'll be hearing more about this in the future.
