BREAKING NEWS... "OLD SCHOOL" BASEBALL PLAYER DOESN'T LIKE WHEN BASEBALL PLAYERS DO THINGS THAT AREN'T "OLD SCHOOL."
Phillies great and Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt grabbed his "old school" No. 2 pencil and faxed in an op-ed to the Associated Press on Thursday, coming out against bat flips and modern players showing too much emotion on the field.
In his op-ed, Schmidt reiterated much of the same old tripe we've heard other "old school" players spout for years, that only minuscule amounts of emotion should ever be seen on the baseball field.
Why do so many players today feel the need to embellish their success with some sort of hand signal to the dugout?
