Players who influenced rules changes (See Horsehide Trivia quiz 06-Jul-2020).. .
Earl Weaver — Rule: A phantom DH can’t be substituted until he’s had at least one PA.
Harry Hooper — Rule: Baserunners can advance as soon as the fielder makes contact with the ball. Hooper was famous for juggling a fly ball as he eased closer to better throw out a running tagging up.
Hank Greenberg — Rule: Size limitations on first baseman mitts.
Eddie Stanky — Rule: On-field defensive players are not allowed to distract the batter when he’s at bat. Stanky, while playing 2B would wave his arms as the pitch was being delivered.
Gene Mauch — Rule: Existing rules did not prohibit interference against defensive players who ventured into an opponent’s dugout while attempting to catch a foul ball. On 4-July-1966 Phillies manager Mauch knocked a ball out of NYM C Jerry Grote’s mitt. The rule was changed during the off-season.
Hal McRae — Rule: A baserunner who takes out an infielder without a reasonable chance of reaching the base means the ball is dead.
King Kelly- Rule: No player substitutions until the ball is dead. The story goes that Kelly was on the bench one game in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. At the time the rules allowed a player to substitute himself into a game just by making an announcement. As the batter lofted a pop foul near the Boston bench, Kelly stood up and said in a loud, clear voice, “Kelly now catching.” He caught the ball barehanded and won the game. The rule was formally changed in 1910, 16 years after Kelly’s death.
Carl Mays —Rule: Umpires must replace ball when it becomes dirty or damaged.
Amid the Outpouring for Ginsburg, a Hint of Backlash – and not by Republicans. The justice had a less than stellar record for hiring minority underlings, and she spoke out against Colin Kaepernick’s flag protests. .

Six patronizing phrases you shouldn’t say without realizing it, and what you should say instead. Reminds us to think before we speak.
1. “You can do better than that”. Instead say “This looks great, but I think we can do even better. What do you think?”
2. “Right. Now back to the matter at hand”. Instead promise to address that subject later.
3. “I actually like that idea”. Instead: “That is a good idea.”
4. “Everyone knows that…” Instead say “You may know that…”
5. “Good luck with that!” Instead: “Feel free to let us know if you need any help.”
6. “You’re missing my point.” Instead: “Let me try to rephrase this to make my meaning clear.”
