Did you hear what the MLB legend said about the franchise?

When it comes to "Unwritten Rules" no sport can compete with Major League Baseball. We've all heard and most likely said them "Act like you've been there before", "He hasn't earned the right to act like that", "Show a guy up and get hit" and "NEVER FLIP THE BAT!".
