Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online.

Censorship Does Not Keep Kids Safe
KOSA is an alarming bill that would enable censorship and violate young people’s First Amendment right to freely access information. We must call on Congress to act now and protect free speech online.

One of my readers observed that baseball is the only sport where the enjoyment of the game decreases as the athleticism of the players increases. I don't know if I totally agree, but it's striking that so much of what we don't care for in the game these days is a function of guys being too good.

fielders are too good, low BA is not just hitters wanting launch angle or whatever
More hits? Make it harder on fielders.
