Here’s the latest in the saga of major league baseball’s drive to shorted the game. I guess this one I can live with (but don’t like), although even it changes the ethos of the game. Beginning this season, intentional walks need only be called; the pitcher will not throw the four pitches. The batter will be told something to the effect of ‘Take your base!’ I know I’m not explaining this well, but if you know baseball, you’ll understand, and if you don’t know baseball, you won’t care.
Change happens all the time. So be it. For me, however, these baseball rule changes remind me of happenings in my changing world that I have little control over, or interest in doing anything about. The good news is that I’m not sad about it. I just want to walk, travel and read my books. And that is what I will do. Oh, I’ll still watch a baseball game.
