4. Lots to digest at link..many more links on subject..

The size of bases will be increased from 15 inches square to 18 inches square as of September 1, according to Major League Baseball (MLB), in order to improve player safety and increase offense. Infielders will now have more space between themselves and base runners, allowing them to maneuver and avoid potentially damaging collisions with themselves.
