"Most players oil their gloves to keep them pliable, but Jeff has no use for the stuff, believing it rots leather. His alternative: shaving cream."

The shaving cream couldn't have helped his glove that much, as his career fielding percentage of .988 is actually lower than the league average of .989 for the years he played, according to Baseball Reference.
