Baseball Bans Home Plate Collisions

Thursday, 12 December 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Major League Baseball has decided to ban home plate collisions starting in 2014. The language of the rule still needs to be written, but USA Today says it’s likely any runner violating the rule will be called out and could face a fine or a suspension. New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson, chairman of Major League Baseball’s rules committee, said the increasing number of injuries as well as a better understanding of concussions led to the rule change.
