The New Style

There seems to be a new trend growing in major league baseball, or at least in the Chicago Cubs bullpen. That is the new style of wearing glasses while pitching. Angel Guzman came off the DL the other day and now he has glasses instead of contacts. He said that he went to the eye doctor and he sees the catcher signaling the sings a lot better while wearing glasses over contacts. Most people believe the opposite and say you have better eye sight with contacts over glasses. Now the Cubs relievers have two/three players who wear glasses. They are Kevin Gregg, Angel Guzman, and Jose Ascanio who is currently in the minors even though he was effective in the majors. I know there are a few other relief pitchers who wear glasses like K-Rod. I wonder if this trend will keep on growing. I would think glasses would just get in the way. It would be interesting to know the exact number of players who wear glasses. To my knowledge there is only one position player who wear glasses and that is Brian McCann because he had a severe eye problem at the start of the season. You would think a catcher wearing glasses would just get in the way.
