So, the central agency (MLB) stepped in and changed the rules . If this crap had been nipped in the bud years ago . It wouldn’t have happened. Same thing happened with the hissy fit over HISA . If horse racing would have self governed itself , the Federal Govt wouldn’t be all over them . Plus, the fact that the cheating and cover ups scare casual fans away and are not good for business. The fact is you’re selling sports……. People don’t need them . They won’t starve or freeze without it. Piss them off ….. bye bye. That simple . So your dumb ass better cater to MODERN SOCIETY! Gee, why are Horse Racing and Baseball losing ground ?

I don’t really agree with the shift rule either. Teach people how to bunt and go the other way . Like we had to learn . And that would have never been a problem.
