He's Blue About his Eyes

Josh Hamilton is a great hitter in baseball... by night. By day, he appears to be barely worth putting out there with a batting average in the .100's. The reasoning behind this is his eyes? Josh Hamilton has stated that he believes his blue eyes are the reason for his numbers difference saying that it is tough for people with blue eyes during the days. As weird as this sounds to me, there seems to be some science behind it having to do with lack of pigment and unwanted glare as a result. Of course the obvious solutions are finding the right sun glasses which seems to have not happened yet.

I must say, as a bit of a joke, has Josh ever thought about joining a team that plays in a dome? I think the Rays are the only team left with a true dome but I'm sure the one's with retractable roofs will gladly close them when you come to the plate. On a more serious note, I don't have blue eyes so I don't have a clue what it's like for Josh and others but I must inquire as to how much this affects the other blue eyed ballplayers. It didn't seem to stop Cal Ripken Jr. and his Hall of Fame career or at least slow him down.

Anyway, I hope Josh does find the right pair of sunglasses soon. Baseball loves him and needs him to be a star.
