From the start, let me open up this piece with the statement that I am fully against hazing and bullying. What the Chicago Cubs and Joe Maddon have done don’t line up with what baseball is trying to put an end to in my mind. And I don’t feel that the players have ever had to do anything that has put the players in a spot that made them uncomfortable. But with that, You aren’t going to see Kris Bryant dressed up as Elsa from Frozen anytime soon.
Players past and present have chimed in, giving their thoughts on the new rules–and more importantly what it was like for them in their rookie season.
