NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Yankees manager Joe Girardi thinks Major League Baseball should avoid the sticky situation of pitchers being caught using foreign substances to get better grips on the ball by providing the tacky stuff for them.
“I really believe there should be a substance behind the mound that every pitcher is allowed to use,” Girardi said Tuesday. “I’d like to see them come up with something that everyone can use when they go out there.”
Girardi’s endorsement of a rule change was supported by Royals manager Ned Yost before the teams played at Yankee Stadium.
