Regarding "New double-play slide rule helps Rays beat Blue Jays" (Wednesday Sports C2), kudos to Major League Baseball for taking concrete action to curb intentional injury on the field. The article goes on to explain that the new rule is named after Chase Utley, the L.A. Dodgers 2nd basement notorious for his many attempts to disable or terrorize fielders by running out of the base-path and targeting them with his cleats.
It's appropriate that baseball teams who attempt to injure will now be penalized. Intentional injury is an affront to sportsmanship and common decency. With an ounce of luck, a similar rule will be enacted in professional football and other sports as well.
