Isn’t it just some groundskeeper guy etching the cross and number in the sand? Maybe the Pitcher will now etch it with his clete, how about that wimpy GM?
I’m hoping that the pitchers do that. It should be up to the pitchers, really. You wouldn’t want it there for Sandy Koufax. But the GM shouldn’t be getting involved, either. It’s just a nice little thing that the groundskeeper was doing, and there was no publicity about it until some troublemaker saw it and was “offended”.
