MLB wants the federal government to let clubs use “more robust mitigation efforts” against drones

There have been five total drone delays in Major League Baseball this season from people flying unauthorized drones over MLB ballparks during games, leading to players being called off the field and to those games being temporarily postponed (including the Aug. 4 one between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Minnesota Twins seen above). That’s a concern for the league, but current federal laws limit what they can do about it.

I would think 40 MM Bofors AA guns would get the job done.

MLB? Is that like the reverse of BLM?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Agree. no fans in the stands, so belt fed works. Players take turns on the guns. /s

[Buckeye McFrog]

Worried about the drones relaying pictures and accounts without express written consent?

[Seruzawa]

I see flying a drone over someone’s private property akin to breaking into his house. Shooting them down should be legal.

[dfwgator]

Any involve Astros games?

[treetopsandroofs]

Iron Dome defense for the players, with non-existent fans?

Sounds like The Felon League is more concerned about re-broadcasting from the drones.

[discostu]

Just count all home runs double if they take out a drone. It’ll be fun.

Their drones autonomously capture other drones with a tethered net and drag the drone back to It’s base be analyzed.

I don’t believe we little people own any airspace, because those Amazon drones better be able to get to our houses!

A 12 gauge if at goose hunting range.

They should be thrilled that anyone is wanting to see their social justice oriented events at all, drone or not, because I’m sure not watching or even following them.

20mm CIWS borrowed from the Navy would probably work. Sell it with pretzels as the ChesWize.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Either a mesh net or electronic barrier should take care of this nuisance.

[Dr. Sivana]

Randy Johnson could take care of that in short order

[euram]

I’d like to see more clubs used in the riot mitigation efforts.

[Kozak]

I might give a shit if MLB didn’t go all woke.

Since they did, I don’t.
