I thought only robots had laser eyes...

Apparently Troy Percival's squinting routine wasn't just an act. He had laser eye surgery over the off season, so he can now "see the [freeway] signs." He says that while the surgery has helped in everyday life, it has not made his pitching any better because he never had trouble seeing the catcher's glove. I'm sure hitters were always more worried about taking a 98 mph fastball to the head, but as it turns out Troy was more likely to kill you behind the wheel of a car!
