Korean baseball league stamps down on distraction by cabbage

[PlayingWithFire]

You will notice that no one is in the seats though... Probably due to the smell of rotting cabbage and sweat.

Probably because it's warm-up?

isn't "kimchi" bottled cabbage with some sort of seafood in there? my dad used to eat that stuff all the time.

your dad is a good man, b.

if you like spicy food...you should try kimchi. koreans eat kimchi at all meals...usually with rice and a bunch of side dishes.

kimchi isn't necesserily cabbage.
I love some of those side dishes!

I love kimchi with yakiniku. It's going to be hard to find back home.
perhaps illegal veggies will be the next steroids in MLB.

I could sure use a piece of frozen cabbage on my head right now. It's hot as balls out right now.

Like that would work for more than a minute? And like the smell of dank and rotting vegetables in jis hat in the summer heat would not be noticed?

A pitcher would only be out there for 20 minutes at a time at most. He could change leaves every inning. It shouldn't get too stinky.

Freezing the cap itself must be illegal, or else they'd just do that.

i don't think a cap would hold the the cold nearly as well as a cabbage leaf (lots of water). Why not just sew in a pocket for the leaf? that way it will not fall out...

His trick was cabbage??? Quick drop him!

the following passage is from Cobb by Al Stump, a biography of Ty Cobb:

According to Cobb's very good memory, he was headed down a passage to his dugout at Yankee Stadium during a September series with the Yanks when he encountered Ruth. On a hot day Babe was wearing his summertime home remedy, a wet cabbage leaf atop his hair and under his cap.

this was in bottom of page 397.

apparently, using a cabbage isn't a Korean thing, and it was something even babe ruth used.

Anyone else going to try this? I think I'll do it next time I mow the lawn. I'll report back sometime in the next week ...

"I'm sensitive to the heat and my wife recommended I put frozen cabbage leaves under my cap to cool my head," he said.

I like how he blames his wife. lol.
