Wow. Interesting.

 

[rico08]

If he didn't look around so slyly before spitting...

 

[Y4NK335]

Really looks hard to tell if the spit actually landed on the ball or not.

wow, cheater! take that negative karma yanks!

There has to be some sort of editing magic here. There is no way a pitcher is going to spit directly on a baseball and not get caught immediately.

I was thinking the same thing. If this is real, wouldn't it be picked up by now on ESPN or someone like that? I haven't seen anything on other sport sites. Has anyone else?

sporting news: Mariano Rivera and the Case of the Spitball

...."The Commissioners Office reviewed available video and still photography from Mariano Rivera spitting toward a baseball in ALCS Game 3 and “found no evidence that Rivera spit on the ball,” a spokesman for the commissioner told the Post."

put an asterisk next to 2000, 1999, and 1998
and put a 2nd asterisk next to 1996, beside the one already there for jeff maier

lol. Okay the looking around.. the precise positioning of the ball in his fingers.. the direction. He either spit on the ball or narrowly missed it.

Stupid question but what does "spit" do to a ball? Does it make it easier to grip?! I've always wondered...thanks!

automatic strikeouts and it also gives a fastball a good cut

basically you spit on one side of the ball, so that side cuts through the wind better than the other side, good curve ball or cutter in riveras case

was it really that funny or do you just not get out that much?

I love how they break away from the shot as soon as the spit hits the ball.
This reminds me of this:
