Cabbage Used As Self Coolant?
A South Korean baseball team Doosan Bears’ pitcher Park myung-hwan was caught earlier this week using cabbage as a cooling agent under his baseball cap. Apparently he had been using this cooling vegetable since last summer.
The Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) took action stating:
“We had to act because imagine if it happened in the World Series. If something drops out of the pitcher’s cap, it could put the batter off. Does the umpire call strike or ball?”
Park’s response: “I’m sensitive to the heat and my wife recommended I put frozen cabbage leaves under my cap to cool my head..”
