Many of you are likely familiar with Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell.
He’s been writing about baseball for more than 40 years, and has been the Post’s main baseball columnist since 1984. He’s written seven books about baseball, several of which I’ve read and recommend to you. He’s knowledgeable about the sport and its history and is an excellent writer.
Friday, he wrote this column about some of the proposed changes to baseball rules and procedures, all of which is worth reading.
I’m going to quote quite a bit of it here, for a reason which will soon be obvious to you.
