Not every inning in a ballgame starts with "no one on". Please keep up to date on Major League Baseball's attempts to appeal to the nations shrinking attention span. Every inning after the 9th now starts with a baserunner on second base. This ensures the game won't go too long. Though I am a lifelong baseball fan that is sick of MLB's attempts to make the game more accessible to a TikTok society, I feel its important that the NYT crossword at least stays up to date on the latest dumb rules. Please don't get me started on how MLB implements rule changes to kowtow to the sports gaming industry. Thank you
