The Chicago White Sox have announced they plan to extend protective netting from home plate all the way down to the foul poles...in a move that could be made as soon as this summer. White Sox catcher James McCann likes the idea. The move comes weeks after a small child was struck by a foul ball in Houston in a game between the Cubs and Astros.


MWL:
The brand-new All-Star Game rule that was talked about in a big way before the night started actually came true on Tuesday night for the 2019 Midwest League All-Star Game from Four Winds Field in South Bend. After being tied at 3-3 after nine innings of play, public address announcer Gregg Sims announced that the game would be decided by a sudden death home run derby.
Each team picked one representative to try and hit as many home runs as possible in a 90 second time period. For the west, Kane County’s Blaze Alexander. For the East, Chris Betts. Betts won his second home run derby in as many days to give the East the win.
