Man...imagine how good Mickey Mantle could have been if he had taken part in these glove tightening rituals after every pitch...or even wore batting gloves.
It's ridiculous, and nothing more than primping and copying what someone else did because it "looked cool".

Baseball sucks anyway. Slow and boring. Ben2 has a good idea with 2 outs and 7 innings. They should add random non-lethal confetti explosions in the outfield.

But if the umpires would start penalizing the batters for their unneeded routines at an earlier age and let those penalties follow them right on up they would be a thing of the past in a few years. If I am watching a baseball game I have no interest in watching a bunch of players scratching their junk, beating their cleats, playing with their gloves, stepping out of the batters box and other time killers. I can honestly say it's never stood out at me enough to even notice. Maybe you just don't really like baseball? I do wish they'd do away with all the instant replay, electronic strike zone, etc. When you take that much of the human element out of it, it just gets bland. I say 2 outs per inning, 7 innings max then no extra innings. If you are going to do that, just send every batter to the plate with a full count. Second foul ball and you are out. That would speed the game up.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I would rather see them lookin' like Flava Flave than sporting a danged FLAT BILL HAT  I hate that and then there are the ones that have it turned 90 degrees on the side of their heads. But then again I played for a coach that if he saw you with a ball cap on backwards you had better be a catcher. If you weren't a catcher then you spent time as one catching batting practice, which wasn't fun.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Before batting gloves it was pine tar. Who said he didn't step out between pitches? What he didn't do is readjust dang batting gloves after every single pitch. I rarely watch baseball, but just watched the first inning and a half of the Sox/Mariners game on MLB Network. Out of about 12 batters so far, exactly ONE of them has re-tightened his batting gloves, and he did it ONCE with a full count on him, then struck out. That's it. It's pee-wee league crap that I'm still trying to figure out how it got started. They still have pine tar, btw.

Did they even have batting gloves when he played?
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

It's these pee-wee league players that have picked it up from somewhere and now think they have to do it after every dang pitch. Some of their fathers apparently think it's a "thing", though.

Sure blame the umpires.....when league presidents& commissioner have the real power. Fine the players? Sure that $5000.00 fine matters to a guy making 20 million a year. Baseball is meant to be counted by outs not time.

Baseball is meant to be counted by outs not time. If you are on a schedule, don't go to a baseball game. Y'all forgot to complain about the necessary package adjustment that has to be made while on national TV too.

I can get past the caps with flatter bills (as long as they wear them straight)...........but I HATE the baggy pants. Baseball pants should be worn pulled up to just below the knee, with socks showing.
I'm glad to see it seems to be making a comeback.
