Is the torpedo bat the tush push of Major League Baseball?

Is it legal by all rules, but mastered by one team to such an extreme that something must be done legislatively about it?

The Eagles have been doing nothing illicit with a play they have all but perfected the past two years. But its success has motivated their competition to try to get it banned and, indeed, the NFL’s competition committee this week is discussing just that. But that is with two seasons of information.

The Yankees did nothing wrong this weekend. Some — but not all — of their players used a bat that while legal by Rule 3.02 is nontraditional in how it distributes where the sweet spot is further down from the top. Their players are not the only ones using the torpedo bat, but they had the most doing so and the most success.
