Odd MLB rule and article
Similar to the strange articles I griped about in a different thread.... I saw a strange one today.
Some headline like "MLB to enforce odd rule next season"
And what it was about is apparently the outfield grass is supposed to be a certain distance from the center of the pitchers mound +- a foot. Which is a really wide margin.
That's important in a way that's somehow related to the silly anti- shift rules.
Then the strangeness shoe drops.
They already checked all the fields, and only one was not within the spec. And it will be fixed by spring.
So basically a whole lot of micromanagement of nothing... And some reporter got paid for a nothing article about that nothing.
I think it's going to be a LONG offseason and it hasn't even really started.
