@____J_R____@flowsdoc Completely agree.
I have played baseball for 35 years. Umped for 10. I know all but the minutiae of the rulebook.
Know this is legal.

A runner on 1B can sprint directly at a pitcher as he's pitching, then run to the OF fence. Huh?
@ImwithStupidNow@AmiriKing@QixSoo Let's ignore the research showing lower IQ, more aggression, etc.

@ImwithStupidNow@AmiriKing@QixSoo Their skin pigment is one of the phenotypes of their race.

Good in the NBA, not so good in civilization at scale.
@coachtomFL Because MLB IF are really good at baseball.
