Respect for Veteran Players and Player-Friendly Management in Baseball

In baseball, being player-friendly and trusting veteran players is essential due to the long season. The experience of playing in an All-Star game as a young player is overwhelming and a dream come true. While some criticize player-friendly managers like Aaron Boone, it is important to acknowledge that the ultimate responsibility lies with the players on the field. Criticism is part of playing in New York, and injuries in baseball are intense, especially for pitchers who face escalating pitch speeds.
