Yuck

Yep, my first reaction to this is a definite yuck:

A lot of people probably were shocked this week to read Cubs outfielder Moises Alou's admission that he urinates on his hands to toughen his hands. Jorge Posada was not among them.

The Yankees' catcher, who along with Alou and Anaheim outfielder Vladimir Guerrero is among a small number of big-league players who hit without batting gloves, said yesterday he does the same thing.

.....

"A lot of guys like my father, who worked on the land, always used to do it," Posada said. "It keeps your hands from getting callused and cracking."

On the other hand, if it works....

Can anyone explain the underlying science?
