There will be no high-fiving during Brewers Spring Training for the foreseeable future.
Why?
Because members of the team are battling a pink eye infection that they don’t want to spread. Oh, OK. Via ESPN…
The Milwaukee Brewers will have to find a new way to celebrate for the next few spring training games. The team has banned high-fives to avoid the spread of pinkeye.
Catcher Jonathan Lucroy and pitching coach Rick Kranitz became the latest victims Thursday. They will be staying home for 48 hours in hopes of stopping the spread of the annoying and highly contagious malady.
Well, that’s just….dandy. Pink eye is extremely contagious, and limiting contact between players sounds like the best way to control whether or not it spreads to more members of the organization.
I wonder how the Brewers are going to be celebrating from here on out. Forearm smashes? Elbow bumps? Helmet taps? The world needs to know!
