Past MLB players disapprove of change in hazing policy
Not everyone is a fan of the MLB's new rules regarding hazing.
With the new CBA in place, teams will no longer be able to haze rookies by making them resemble females in costume, or wear female clothing in general during the act.
Some of baseball's stars of yesterday, however, took to Twitter to publicly voice their displeasure at the newly instituted ban:
How rediculous! The world has gotten 2 damn sensitive! This has been a time honored tradition. The world is full of sensitive snowflakes https://t.co/Zhadz1MXBf

Some current players, though, didn't exactly disagree with the change, but they were happy they had a chance to partake in the controversial rituals:

Fun fact, morning after being a Teletubby for my rookie dress up I woke up with the head on backwards and temporarily thought I was blind.

There are strong supporters of the new law, however, with New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson throwing his support behind the new policy Tuesday.
