The article discusses a recent incident involving the San Francisco Giants, focusing on negative reactions to retaliatory actions in baseball. Following a game where several players were hit, one player expressed his frustration openly. The author reflects on their strong opposition to intentional violence in the sport, highlighting the moral and logical reasons against retaliation. They argue that it serves no real purpose and can lead to severe consequences for players instead of resolving conflicts on the field.
If retaliation has a thousand haters, I am one of them; if retaliation has one hater, it is me; if retaliation has no haters, I hope that they served only the finest and freshest bread, cheese, and tinned fish at my funeral.
I hate it for the moral reason that a baseball is a very hard object that, when administered in the direction of a person's body, can cause great harm and potentially jeopardize one's career.
