CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs veteran Ben Zobrist is publicly asking Major League Baseball to lighten the restrictions regarding the color of his spikes after receiving a letter of warning from the league.
Zobrist took to Instagram to plead his case.
The league claims Zobrist is violating the rule that requires at least 51 percent "of the exterior of each player's shoes be the club's designated primary shoe color." The letter claims Zobrist broke that rule on May 2 in a game against the Colorado Rockies.
