Wade Boggs, then with Boston Red Sox, used to draw a Chai in the dirt with his foot when he played first base. And he wasn’t even Jewish! Maybe Kevin Youkilis, Ike Davis, Josh Satin, Danny Valencia, or Ian Kinsler, who all play infield, could get away with that. It would be a lot harder for Braun or Sam Fuld to copy, sine he’s an outfielder. Umpires probably wouldn’t allow any of the pitchers to “scribble” on the mound.
