Baseball was invented to be a game of manipulation and benefit of the doubt. This new rule takes away from the glory and originality of baseball. The players did not even get a say in whether this rule was accepted or denied. This issue connects to the book very well. The commissioner of the MLB, Rob Manfred, relates to the doctors because they both proceeded to change an important aspect of something even though other people saw it as wrong. They deliberately changed something that should have never been
