Coffee with Crawford | In the post-rules era, Pete Rose finally fits

In the article "Coffee with Crawford: In the post-Rules era, Pete Rose finally fits" from WDRB, writer Eric Crawford discusses the impact of the new MLB rules on the game and how they align with the playing style of Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hit leader who was banned from the sport for betting on games. The new rules, which include larger bases, restrictions on defensive shifts, and a pitch clock, aim to speed up the game and increase action on the field, reminiscent of the era when Rose played. Crawford argues that these changes make Rose's aggressive, hit-and-run style of play more relevant today, suggesting that if Rose were playing under the current rules, his approach would be even more effective.
