The ‘wussification’ of America: MLB to ban home plate collisions
Thursday, Dec 12, 2013 at 1:03 PM CST

Glenn is not a sports aficionado… by any stretch of the imagination… but even he could not get over a new rule that came out of Major League Baseball winter meetings yesterday.

“Can I ask you something? Nothing makes sense anymore. And I don’t know anything about sports, but the home plate collision thing – that seems ridiculously stupid,” Glenn said on radio this morning. “Again, I don’t know anything about it, but is this the wussification of America again?”

I remember even back in T-ball being coached that anyone who gets between you and the base is fair game for getting rolled.  I also remember being taught how to field ground balls by putting a knee down, and when the ball would sometimes take a jump and pop you in the chin, we were taught that's the price you sometimes pay to stop the ball. This was in T-ball.

I don't even want to know how they coach that for kids now.

They stand upright, let the ball roll between their legs and later get ice cream.

They stand upright, let the ball roll between their legs and later get ice cream.

That is, if they're even paying attention and not playing in the dirt.

And God forbid that there be a little dew on the grass......they might get hurt.

Or...

"Hey, look!  A squirrel!"  (Ball rolls deeper into the outfield...)

Let's ban pitching over 40mph?  While we're at it, let's ban line drives.

The hell with it! Let's ban baseballs, soccer balls, basketballs, softballs, whiffle balls, and hockey pucks, and enforce the use of foam balls for all sports!

Would the trannies have to wear three-threes?

Or burlap.

Huh? Oh. Never mind......
