to keep the gloves moist. helps with grip. a keeper's glove cannot be to dry or to wet.

so that, the reserve keeper will not ask them to share gloves?

for a while, I wonder how come the players seems to have this wet patch on their chests.. well, now I know they put Vicks or some ointment to aid their breathing in cold weather..

Ben's point is correct... The spit has some sticky enzyme that helps the rubber on the glove give it a better grip on the ball... Try it....

I am so amazed that with the modern technology, we still need spit.. I tot they would have make the gloves better..

till date, I only know scuba divers use spit for their goggles to make it fog-proof.
