No…no..this is cool. If we totally get them all safety’d up, we can actually change the rules of baseball and make it fun and exciting for the first time ever. We can instill like a mandatory bean rule where at least once per at-bat the pitcher has to try and nail the kid in the dome. What? He’s got a helmet and a face mask on…this is good clean fun. I like where this is going….next stop basketball+dodgeball…dodgetball maybe…I don’t know yet, but it would be stinkin’ cool. Maybe more than one ball. Guy goes up for an easy layup and then WHAM! takes a ball to the ribs and no basket…much better than normal basketball if you ask me.

okay, these people can’t be serious?
“We’re telling 8- and 9-year-olds that when a ball is coming at you 50, 60, 65 miles per hour, if you get out of the way, great.”
A 9-year-old throwing 65 miles per hour? Maybe they should be testing for steroids.
Now you know why it’s fondly referred to as, “The People’s Republic of Maryland.”

I don’t understand why you aren’t MLB commissioner, Chris.
