Upper right there is a link to photos and one category is sports.

Scroll through and find a picture of Melky Cabrera practicing sliding.

Why does he have baseballs in his hands?

Is this a unique way to ensure he doesn't hurt his hands while he slides? Or is this just further proof that the Yankees are stupid?

I saw this and I had to comment. My daughters softball team teaches the girls how to slide by giving them two glasses of water to hold when sliding. They also do it on a large piece of cardboard so that they can reaaly slide. They get wet and have a blast. It is a great way to get little kids to keep their hands from being scraped up. I assume the baseballs are a similar reminder, but more mature.
