John Gibbons On Safe Sliding: "Maybe We'll Come Out Wearing Dresses Tomorrow"
By Ty Duffy
MLB instituted a new slide rule. That rule cost the Toronto Blue Jays against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jose Bautista was called for runner interference, negating two runs in a 3-2 loss.
" #Rays go from down to out: https://t.co/MOs0Ak2OOu #ChevyBaseballhttps://t.co/Nop4ngLsiC — MLB (@MLB) April 6, 2016 "
Jays manager John Gibbons criticized said rule in the games’ aftermath. He apparently views safe sliding as a slippery slope to wearing women’s clothing.
Gibbons tells reporters: "Maybe we'll come out and wear dresses tomorrow. Maybe that's what everybody's looking for."

Probably best to express your frustration about a baseball rule without degrading an entire gender.
