So much has changed, let alone the drugs.

Is anyone else old enough to remember the strike zone "from the letters to the knees"? (formerly the shoulders?)
Records of the "Negro Leagues" were not entered until very recently. Are they fully incorporated?
Maris got grief when the number of games per season changed.

The first base coach had to get tossed for this to happen.

I don't think that the second-baseman is using cell phone, but the runner whose phone slid out of his pocket before he could touch base probably is a first. (no picture available)
