The unwritten rules of baseball have been cited numerous times already this year. Baseball legal scholars such as Brian Dozier have called out hitters for bunting against a shift in a blowout game. Astros pitcher Justin Verlander took issue with White Sox infielder Tim Anderson stealing a base when down by five runs.
Now Anderson is considered a repeat offender of the unwritten rules after being issued a citation by Sheriff Sal. Royals catcher Salvador Perez took issue with the young White Sox hitter after he drilled a home run in the first inning of the night contest of Saturday’s doubleheader.
