<p>The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/06/23/mlb-rules-max-scherzer-joe-girardi-sergio-romo/">first week of enforcement</a> of the sticky stuff rule resulted in dropping of pants and threats to do so, the ejection of Joe Girardi for calling out Max Scherzer after demanding a substance check mid-inning, and <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/hector-santiago-ejected-after-glove-inspection">Hector Santiago</a> winning the dubious honor of  first pitcher suspended under the new world order.
