Red Sox’s Middlebrooks Trying Contact Lens

“Will Middlebrooks [Boston Red Sox] is experimenting with new contact lenses this week to correct some slight vision problems, according to CSNNE.com. Middlebrooks reportedly wore the contacts Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and didn’t see much improvement. He didn’t wear them Friday, and — after dealing with the discomfort of wearing the lenses for the first time — is unsure if he’ll resume wearing them.” That’s the post on NESN. Read more.
