As such, it's really up to the players, directors, managers and coaches in the clubhouse to influence (not regulate) the behavior of each player. There's only so much responsibility even they can take for each other; it's up to the player as an individual. Compared to basketball and football at least, baseball balances its responsibilities with individual player responsibility quite well overall. Not perfect, but well.
