Tangentially, Jon Bois (the guy behind 17776 and The Death Of Basketball) is doing a ten-part series about every mound charging in MLB history. Baseball stops happening, and chaos ensues. Alliances are formed and broken. Men get turned upside-down. A plate of crab legs betrays a beloved pitcher.

Also also, John Bois is the Yahtzee Croshaw of Secret Base, and the best aspect of e.g. The People You're Paying To Be In Shorts.

On a related note, Jon Bois mini series on the history of mound charging is hilarious and brilliant
