MLB won’t do sticky-substance checks at All-Star Game
NY Post
For one night only, pitchers will not be inspected for sticky stuff — and it will be on a grand stage.
MLB has decided it will not check pitchers for illegal sticky substances at the All-Star Game, according to a source at the league office. MLB views the July 13 Mid-Summer Classic as an exhibition game and, therefore, why subject pitchers to inspection in that forum? It also would clearly create further conversation around a hot-button issue when MLB will want attention focused on the biggest stars in the game, such as Ronald Acuna Jr., Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr.More Related News
