Why do they drag the infield in the middle innings?

It’s a tradition dating back to the old days of baseball.

They used to drag convicted criminals by horseback through the bases as a form of entertainment for the crowds and as a crime deterrent.

Humane laws prevent it these public displays of humiliation nowadays.

Drag shows should be banned.

It is like when the wife gets a bikini wax. The playing surface needs to be freshen up from time to time.
