CHICAGO -- Two years ago, it was Giovanny Gallegos' hat. This time, it was rosin on his left arm.
It's just something about Gallegos and Chicago's South Side.
Gallegos pitched the eighth inning in the St. Louis Cardinals' 3-0 victory over the White Sox on Saturday. But it wasn't exactly a routine outing.
It all started when plate umpire Lance Barrett saw Gallegos hit his left arm with the rosin bag after he warmed up. Barrett told Gallegos that was illegal and used a towel to clean off Gallegos' arm.
When Gallegos did the same thing with two outs in the inning, Barrett got a towel from the White Sox dugout and wiped down his arm again.
