That and a good camera.

...puts a lot less strain on the arm and shoulder than throwing over the top does.

Before my softball games I'll mess around a little and throw some sidearm or submarine and it just feels like a more fluid motion. You still snap the arm but it seems a lot less stressful on the shoulder.

But, yeah - it looks pretty crazy.

...get into the game. Took 8 2/3 innings for it, but better late than never.

I think he almost fell off the mound in the bullpen, though. I caught a glimpse of it and some of the players in the dugout did too because I heard them going on about "Did you see Zigler..?"

Wonder if he'll post about that here. ;-)

Zigler Ziegler.

usually I agree with most of your comments, but I think the Rivercats' sleeveless jerseys rock.

Back in the old days, the sleeveless jerseys were worn over loose t-shirts.  In that context, I can understand the dissing of the sleeveless, because what's the point of wearing a loose shirt over a different colored loose shirt?  Just make a two-toned jersey?

Nowadays, though, players wear sleeveless jerseys over the skintight modern athletic shirts.  I think a loose sleeveless jersey looks kinda cool over a tight undershirt.

Until such time as players are allowed to wear skintight performance apparel, I support the sleeveless jersey.

(note:  I'm glad David Wells is retiring prior to the onset of the spandex uniform era, because that would have been one hell of an ugly sight!)

...don't think Ziggy looks that good in them. He looks like he has kind of thin arms and the long, tight sleeve doesn't quite look right to me. The others in the short sleeves work better. Maybe if Ziegler wore short sleeves under the long..but then you've got more layers on warm days.

he has his clothes on in all these photos.
