typical dugout prank...just history....the old hotfoot

dont know, but back in my day in high school baseball we used to say "they ripped his ****".....meaning they homered off of our pitcher....

It's called the hotfoot. It was made popular in the 70's and 80's by dugout pranksters. No one really does it anymore though.

Players prank I heard Jim Kaat speak of it once.

just a funny prank all players do pranks

It IS in fact called a hotfoot normally done on rokies where they put athletic tape on the heel of the shoe and light it on fire.

It's just a rookie prank.

initiation
