New rules put a lot of pressure on the kids.
Bat boys and bat girls will have standards applied to their responsibilities of retrieving equipment from the field of play. As part of the pace of play efforts, the league can ask clubs to replace them if they are deemed not quick enough.
Oh, there are loopholes and extenuating circumstances, but MLB makes it sound like bat boys and bat girls might need their attorneys present to guard against wrongful termination. So, when the MLB masterminds gathered in their Madison Avenue boardroom and asked, “How can we make the game more appealing to the younger generation, some teen-hating knucklehead piped up and said, “I know: We can hire them ... and then fire them!”
And, like Yankee Stadium on Bobblehead Night, they all nodded in agreement ... and the Commish signed on. A quick tale: For many years, The Star-Ledger had a sports reporter who had been a bat boy for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s — a special kid who was loved even by the crotchety Leo Durocher, who managed the club. Because of the way the boy was treated by the athletes, he grew to love sports and became a sports journalist.Why did Durocher and the players love that kid so much? They marveled at his courage.
