Baseball might be back

People keep saying it's hit a peak. I saw one person say between the WBC and pitch clock rules, we may be witnessing a new beginning.

If they forget the unwritten rules and let the players celebrate and show emotion then yes I would agree.

Edit: I mean in the MLB. The WBC was fun as hell, all the emotion and crowd involvement was great. MLB take notice

I watched a lot of MLB last year and saw some pretty over the top celebrations without really any backlash from anyone or the opposing teams, especially during the playoffs. I think the unwritten rules are already a thing of the past. There’s probably more celebration in the WBC because every game is higher stakes, I saw the same amount of celebration during the playoffs last year when the stakes are similar

I think players celebrate to a fair level in MLB. Showing up the other players should still be looked upon unkindly if you push it too far.

We don’t need shit like what Arozarena pulled with his amazing catch in the Mex vs Jap game. That’s still low class assholery. I think even he knew he went too far after he calmed down.
