The higher ups want more offense in the game, same as football. I’m sure they’re well aware of what’s going on. Do they care about the integrity/traditions? You tell me.
“The higher ups want more offense in the game”
I played backyard softball/baseball for years before seeing a professional game. I was appalled because the professional game consisted mostly of watching the pitcher pitch.
We saw that integrity and traditions sometimes become incompatible opposites with the steroid issue.
The two have never been concepts that are necessarily welded together.
