Is it bad etiquette to bunt for a hit late in a possible no-hitter?
I say no because no etiquette should stop me from competing. Competing to me is doing everything you can to hit or get on base
no matter the score or the inning. It shocked me to to find that many people (
Justin Verlander was one) consider competing "bush league".
Unwritten rules in sports are often self-serving statements that are used to protect accomplishments or protect star players or teams. Hockey is so full of them that no one can figure out which ones apply.
