Jodi Brown posted a video last month of her daughter Skylar Brown, 6, and her niece Nylah Brown, 6, which appears to show the two girls being ignored by the character Rosita as other children are greeted during a procession at the theme park.

MLB adopts first pitch clock, defensive shifts limits, larger bases for 2023 season

Pitcher Jacob Rhame #35 of the New York Mets gets set to deliver a pitch as the pitch clock counts down during the ninth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Houston Astros at Fitteam Ballpark of the Palm Beaches on March 11, 2019 in NEW YORK (AP) - Major League Baseball adopted its first pitch clock, limits on defensive shifts and larger bases for next season in an effort to shorten games and increase offense in a tradition-bound sport.The decision on the clock and shift restrictions by the sport's 11-man competition committee was made Friday over the unanimous opposition of the panel's players, who approved the larger bases. The changes had long been pushed by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred in an effort to combat the increase in dead time over four decades and suffocation of offense in the age of analytics."Throughout the extensive testing of recent years, minor league personnel and a wide range of fans — from the most loyal to casual observers — have recognized the collective impact of these changes in making the game even better and more enjoyable," Manfred said in a statement.Until last winter, MLB needed one year advance notice to make on-field rules changes without approval of the players' association.
