At least I hope he does.

I know both Ryan Perry & Zumaya are covered in tattoos on their arms. Now they have to wear sleeves for the rest of their careers (per MLB rules for pitchers with light skin).

That seems like a rule that could be challenged as racist.

I bet Wil has already checked that out.

I guess it has to do with it being a distraction for the hitter. Kind of like how pitchers also can't wear white or gray undershirts.
Edwin Jackson's arms are all inked up, yet he doesn't wear sleeves, so I just assumed the rule was for the crackers only.
The rule started about 5-6 years ago with Justin Miller when he pitched for Toronto.

I swear I've seen Zumaya's inked up forearms bare.

Maybe Inge and his wife will have a third child and name him "Lil' Brandon" or "Brandon Jr.".

At most, he wears 3/4 sleeves. The forearm with the fire is always showing.

Who is this "Zumaya" of which you speak?

If you've paid attention to the disabled list or watched Mud Hens rehab assignments in the last 2-3 years, you know him.
Or if you are familiar with the XBox Live Top 100 rankings for Guitar Hero.
