Ben Zobrist isn’t a fan of the new MLB cleat crackdown

Earlier this past week, baseball Twitter was ignited in a wave of “You’ve got to be kidding me” controversy, when Cleveland Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger shared a screenshot of a letter he had received from MLB officials. The letter indicated that Clevinger was in violation of MLB uniform policy when he opted to wear some custom cleats during a game, and warned that if he continued to ignore the MLB policy he might be fined, or subject to disciplinary action.

In general, the online consensus was that this was a ridiculous rule to enforce.
