New Rules in Baseball?

Buster Posey was hurt in a play at the plate last week. This collision at home has sidelined Posey for the rest of the season. Even though I loathe the Giants, I am sorry about his injury. I hope he recovers quickly. This play and a few other violent plays at home plate have caused a riot in baseball circles and a lot are calling for new, stricter rules about plays at the plate. Some old school baseball guys are saying it is the game and you cannot change it. Some ex catchers are calling out for new rules to protect them. Maybe they want it because they were never protected. The Giants sure would have loved some stricter rules to keep their golden boy in the line up. We will see how this plays out. It may become more controversial or die out.
