The Dumbest Rules In Baseball 

"To get 5 free travel packs of AG1 and a year supply of their Vitamin D3+K2, go to athleticgreens.com/baseballdoesnt #AthleticGreensPartner"

That last rule is an insult. One of my favorite little things about baseball is seeing opposing players laugh it up and enjoy the sport. It gives the game a comfy backyard vibe.

This channel is the reason why I got back into baseball. Thank you

Bobby Valentine in a disguise is always gonna be the funniest mlb moment to me. I don't even like him all that much, but that shit is hilarious to see every time.

Man if they enforced the fraternizing rule, Miguel Cabrera would be done lmao. Love that guy.

That closing clip with Ozzie Albies shows what's right about baseball today. Albies is an extraordinarily good player, butt more importantly he almost always demonstrates just how fun the game is!

The automatic triple Was very close to happening last year in a bluejays Redsox game back in late June where Manoah threw his glove out of frustration

(Angel Hernandez gets hit by a Baseball) Angel Hernandez: STRIKE!

The one thing you can’t forget about Eddie Gaedel: he was told not to swing and if he did that a sniper in the stands would shoot him. Thank you Ken Burns’ Baseball for that tidbit.

I'm glad that the last rule isn't really enforced. The last game that I went to was a Nats vs Mets game, and there was a line of kids sitting in left field waiting for Lindor to sign their ball/glove/hat before the game. It was a really nice thing to see. It's always great to see players being nice to each other because of all the clips of them yelling at each other. If you think people being nice is a bad look, you should do something about the umpires, because their ejections for no reason are a bad look

I swear to god the switch pitcher/switch hitter thing is a Bugs Bunny gag

Regarding the banter rule. I loved watching Felix Hernandez and Adrian Beltre go at it.

That last rule is so bogus. As a huge hockey fan, a big part of it that I love is that these big, tough strong athletes often play around and have fun with each other during down time, plus, seeing any athlete give a young fan a piece of game used memorobilia or even just a head scratch is always heartwarming. These are things that humanize these athletes

If you want to know more about Eddie Gaedel, give me a shout. He was my Grandpa's brother. He dropped the last E from his name because he didn't like people saying it wrong. I'm one of a few Gaedeles out there. A few years ago St. Louis brought me and some family members out to Busch Stadium and honored Eddie's legacy (small as it is, pun intended) by bringing us out on the field and giving away Eddie bobbleheads.

I play warzone with a pitcher on the red Sox. Can confirm they're all about the gamer boy life haha

Rob Manfried being allowed as a MLB employee is quite a dumb rule

I go through periods where your channel comes up on autoplay and runs through 4-5 videos every couple of weeks. I've probably seen this one a few times but they never get old thanks to your storytelling technique. Always got me hooked! I learn so much from you my dude. Just wanted to say thank you and you're the best.

I've been watching youtube for the better part of 13 years and this channel has to my favorite of all time. I don't know what it is exactly but I love your videos man! Keep up the amazing work, it is much appreciated by the fans!

I absolutely love the game of baseball and your channel has increased that thank you so much ❤

Not sure you are entirely correct about 'the only ambidextrous pitcher in MLB history'. Ever heard of Greg A Harris? He was actually quite the ambidextrous pitcher, but for most of his career his team wouldnt allow him to pitch lefty. September 28, 1995, while with the Montreal Expos. In the ninth inning, Harris retired Reggie Sanders pitching right-handed, then switched to his left hand for the next two hitters, Hal Morris and Ed Taubensee, who both batted lefty. Harris walked Morris but got Taubensee to ground out. He then went back to his right hand to retire Bret Boone to end the inning. Harris's glove, which was custom built with an extra thumb so that it could be worn on either hand, is now on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

You have secured my subscription forever. I commented on an earlier video about the terminology used for people with dwarfism - and I really appreciate you listening and changing! A lot of folks do not take the time and it is appreciated.

"In 2019, the Red Sox were TERRIBLE"... as the graphic shows a winning record that I would be ecstatic for my team to have...

BABE WAKE UP , BASEBALL DOESNT EXIST JUST POSTED A NEW VIDEO 🎉🎉❤️❤️

Tony Mullane was one of the top pitchers in baseball in the 1880s-90s and was very famous for switch-pitching.

The Anthony Rizzo hand sanitizer clip with Orlanda Arcia should have been used in the last clip. Or Freddie Freeman knocking the ball out of Asdrubal Cabrera's hand clip. Those are classics that we all love. Solid ass vid.

I love David price now. He's a gamer, and he got the wrist to prove it

The players were cracking those 90s

Big fan of the channel and the way you tell the hidden stories in baseball! I remember doing a paper in college on the various ways players have bent the rules across baseball’s history, so it’s great to see you cover the other end by noting how silly those rules can be sometimes. Just as one small note, while this video was a fun change of pace, I do hope you still keep using the intro format (and music) that you’ve used before, since that always set the mood in an awesome way. Even better if you can bring back the beat drop you used to do at the end of the intros, that was always a highlight for me! 😊

My head explodes every time this man says “but”, but I love the videos

Incredible content. This is the stuff I enjoy about this channel. So many silly rules and funny stories especially the last one.

All I know is there's no rule that says dogs can't play basketball.

Baseball Doesn’t Exist & JxmyHighroller are immediate watches

Players weren't aware of the rule that allows them to stay at the game, ( in street clothes, in the stands)after being ejected? I bought the rule book to read more about catcher indifference. But the ejected player rule has stuck in mind for decades. I had no idea there were so many interesting, unique rules. Baseball is beautiful and anybody who says it's boring knows nothing about the game.

The tattoo rule is wild bro. They say its distracting?? Meanwhile players are wearing literal "bling" around their necks

Dude, your videos are insanely good!! I learn so much from you dude!!! Keep it up

Seeing the clip of Simon Birch awakened a memory long left dormant

Just read Justin Miller (the pitcher with the tattoos) died at age 35. Rest in peace, fella.

So if Shohei Ohtani wants to be friendly with every opposing player in the middle of a game, that would make him guilty on all counts in almost every game.

7:03 "from switching to leftie to rightie, FOR ETERNITY" this just reminds me of turned based videogames that go on an endless loop and sounded so weird to hear it happen in a baseball game lol

Found your channel two weeks ago and I absolutely Love it! Thank you for your videos 👍🏽

I can't get enough of this guy pronouncing the word "but."

You always put out quality videos. One of my favorite channels, baseball or otherwise. Keep up the great work.

Never been much of a baseball fan, but this channel has definitely made baseball interesting to me

11:00 😂 man got suspended for simpping

You forgot one important part of Gaedel's at bat. He was told there was a sniper on the roof of the stadium that'd take him out if he swung the bat. And he believed it.

You forgot the two dumbest rules though: ghost runner on 2nd in extra innings and banning the shift!

Should have used the parks and rec clip. "Illegal, they go right to jail! You a miss a dentist appointment. JAIL. We have the best patients in the world"😂😂 love that clip sadly yt doesnt allow gifs *lames*

I love the banter between players. I hope they don't ever enforce that rule.

I learn lots of stuff about the sport and the players cause of you

Thanks I love when u upload❤

6:07 Pat Vindette lives next door to my Dad. He's a really nice guy.

One of my new favorite videos!! Keep up the amazing work!! ♥️⚾️

It’s always a good day when baseball doesn’t exist uploads

I'm a big Mets fan. The day after the season ends I get a sad, hollow feeling every year. I think "what the hell am I going to do now". Having said that, I'd happily have the Mets go 0-162 and score 0 runs all season if it meant every ball in play hit Angel Hernandez.

"...Buht!"

Classroom: Say the line, Baseball Doesn't Exist Baseball Doesn't Exist: "....BUEET!..."

You gotta love how the ump solved the switch-pitcher problem: by ruling in favor of the Yankee 🙄

He don’t stop

I don’t know a thing about baseball and I love watching these vids

9:19 Carlos Santana was my favorite player since I started wathcing baseball. Now I love him even more 😁

Between things like the Chicken and Beer scandal and players' Fortnite addictions, it's weird how the Red Sox somehow keep winning championships when their clubhouse culture is so often in disarray. Imagine a timeline where that stuff didn't happen. How many more rings they'd have in the last 20 years.

Love these videos!

ive watched almsot all your videos and im so hyped u posted

Yet another masterpiece. As a former lifelong fan of the MLB. This channel has single-handedly brought me back to The Show.

Players joking around with one another is actually a good look for the game and fans like seeing player being funny and goofy. Good thing MLB doesn't enforce this rule

I don't even really like baseball, but these videos are incredible! Keep up the good work

I love this channel, the videos are so entertaining!!! Keep it up!

Please make a Roy Holliday video. I feel he is extremely underrated and his career deserves to be heard

David Price's fortnite obsession is still hilarious to this day

0:18 yet Jose Altuve is thriving, you love to see it

Bro these videos are so good man keep it up

I find that the pitcher has to decide first is dumb af. Batter should have to declare which box they stand in first since they are the one trying to score runs. Making the pitcher choose first and the batter react seems like a detriment

Great videos as always

Great video! You should do one on Rick Ankeil.

My day sucked till this came out 😊

Single handedly just killed like 4 video ideas I had in the barrel xD Touché

good day when bde posts

1:18 Bro the umpire walked into that ball bro.

Your research is awesome. Never seen a guys where helmet backwards in an in bat

MLB needs to hire BDE, they need all the help they can get.

13:05 is actually the first time this happened in baseball history on a pitched ball. Due to their being no official rule on using detached equipment on a pitched ball, umpiring crew chief Harry Wendelstedt ruled that based on common sense and fair play, each runner should be awarded one base. The rule was amended to the OBR the following season. Base awards for that particular rule are: three bases on a batted ball, two bases on a thrown ball, and now, thanks to this particular instance, one base on a pitched ball

I love this guy the flow of his video is perfect

I think the dumbest thing is no standing ovations are allowed anymore for a batter since it’s a pitch clock violation. Cody Bellinger got 2 violations for simply letting the fans cheer for him

that ichro girl has an update.. her name is iris skinner and she threw the first pitch of a game last year.. also she appeared on the mariners youtube channel for an interview

Eddie Gaedal was too OP, he would have broken the game. Now all dwarfs are punished because baseball wasn’t ready for a three foot tall GOAT

Best baseball channel on RU-vid. Hands down. I tell everybody about it.

I'm really surprised that nobody got those newer AR air glasses to use in the dugout. Not a single person would ever know that their watching youtube or scrolling the internet or even playing video games. They look just like regular sun glasses to other people who look at you, but what you're really looking at is a 4K, 300 inch IMAX screen!! They're insane!! They're pretty much like those VR headsets, but instead of having a big heavy bulky box hanging on your face, these are literally just sun glasses. And yes!! You can even still see everything going on around you!! I was blown away when I heard about them!! And They're cheap!! They're only like 350 dollars!! If you don't know what I'm talking about theyre called "Xreal AR Glasses." Look em up and you'll be shocked!! If I was in the MLB and never got any playing time and had to sit in the dugout, I would absolutely 10000% be wearing these glasses!!

0:15 Dang bruh they getting rid of Altuve 😢

Stg MLB is doing everything it can to cling on to its last remnant of "old baseball" and make everything as "professional" as possible.

Dude, I love your videos so much. I check your channel every single day hoping you uploaded a new one. Even though I know you only post 1-2 a month. I check anyways thinking I might get lucky. Hahaha! Keep it up dude. You have a subscriber for life right here…

The part where you have to tell the ump what arm you pitch gives offense advantage for switch batters

Amazing video!!!

Wake up new Baseball Doesn't Exist vid

man. that 2017 world series reference made me die inside, i almost forgot about that play

Why do these rule’s exist 💀💀

I like Joe Torres rule. If I managed a team, you would not be allowed to talk to or be nice to the other team on game day. In fact, if you weren't cursing their mothers I'd wonder whose side you were on.

Favorite baseball channel, hands down

Fred Merkle would’ve killed for Chambliss rule to be around in 1908. Talk about a great video idea

Is he purposely saying “but” weird?

The pitcher tattoo thing makes perfect sense it is a huge advantage to be able to camouflage your throwing action
