It's a constant "battle" to keep up with the militarization of Major League Baseball, evidenced, among other things, by teams getting big bucks from the Pentagon to put camo on their players while warming up. During the present playoffs I have noticed the weaponizing of the game. No longer does a pitcher have pitches. No, the broadcasters say he has weapons - like curve balls and sliders. No longer is the player himself a human endowed with free will and the desire to be out there playing ball. No, he himself is a weapon to be coldly discharged by the battalion he's on.
Used to be it was safe for kids to watch baseball.
