Baseball fans are divided on many things. Most are affiliated with one team or another, which separates them from most other fans. Some love analytics, while others have disdain for them. A few favor retaliatory fastballs to the tush of those deemed deserving, while others prefer to handle things with a more pacifism-based approach.
Some fans like the Designated Hitter, while other fans choose to be right.
But one thing most baseball fans can agree on is this: Stealing first base is stupid.
Yet here we are. Over the All-Star break, MLB announced that four new rules will be experimented with in the Atlantic League, to be used in the second half of the 2019 season.
