Take heed, St. Louis Cardinals pitchers. The New York Mets and Kansas City Royals ruined a perfectly good World Series last night by manufacturing a controversy that the media (me included, I guess) ran with after the game was over.
“Not surprisingly, the Royals were angry about the first pitch of the game, up and in to [Alcides] Escobar.”

This is exasperating. Major League Baseball can nip this kind of thing in the bud by banning all pitches
(even so-called accidental ones) that fly above the shoulder and inside the plate.
