Major League Baseball should announce Tuesday that it will suspend players caught with any foreign substance for ten days with pay to help curtail the widespread use of grip enhancers by pitchers around the league. In addition, the MLB will distribute a memo to teams, which know about the broad strokes of the policy change. It outlines plans to penalize all players caught by umpires with any foreign substance on their person, from the widely used sunscreen-and-rosin combination to Spider Tack. This industrial glue has become a favorite among pitchers who want to generate more spin on the ball.
