It wasn't just pitchers who took too long to throw a pitch. You also had hitters who had to step outta the box to adjust their equipment after every pitch. Remember Mike Hargrove? They called him the human rain delay. I mean, what kinda person, who knows 40k people are at the game and many more are watching on TV, can't avoid the urge to grab his crotch and adjust the goods? I always thought that was weird.
