How to Apply Eye Black for Baseball

Eye black is a common accessory in baseball that is believed to help reduce glare and improve contrast, making it easier for players to see the ball. Here are the steps to apply eye black for baseball:

1. Start with a clean, dry face: Before applying eye black, make sure your face is clean and dry. If you have any lotion or sunscreen on your face, remove it with a towel.

2. Apply the eye black: Eye black usually comes in a stick or a tube. Apply a thin layer of eye black under each eye, starting from the inner corner and extending outwards. You can also apply a small amount on your nose if you prefer.

3. Spread the eye black: Using your finger or a small applicator, spread the eye black evenly under each eye. Make sure there are no clumps or uneven spots.

4. Rub it in: Rub the eye black gently into your skin to help it adhere better and prevent it from smudging during the game.

5. Reapply as needed: Eye black can wear off during the game, especially if you sweat a lot. If you feel like you need to reapply, wait until a break in the game and repeat the process.

Note: Eye black is not a mandatory accessory, and some players may choose not to wear it. Make sure to check with your team's regulations to see if eye black is allowed and what type of eye black is acceptable.
