Baseball's Unwritten Rules Part 1: Anthony Castrovince

Every year in baseball a hitter flips his bat or admires a home run and is admonished for breaking one of baseball's "sacred" unwritten rules. These rules have been challenged by many and spark a fire in most, but what really are these rules? Join Christian Heimall as he begins a four-part series on Caught Listening all about these polorizing rules of the game.

Joining him for Part One is Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com and MLB Network. The veteran reporter wrote down some of these unwritten requirements and chats with Christian about the perceived validity of them, the exact way to recognize them, and how the perception of these rules have changed. From the reason why these rules keep getting challenged to the ones that make the least amount of sense, Christian and Anthony do their best to flush out the real issues behind these missives.

They also play a game of "Pepper" where Anthony answers your listener questions, submitted on social media. Be a part of next week's show, or any show, by searching "Caught Listening by Public House Media" on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. You can also email the show at [e-mail]
