Yeah, but, Mike, I'd sure like to give it a try just once. Maybe I could prove your point, maybe not. But I just gotta think I'm as intelligent as whoever writes the rules, so I could probably understand what they write. Surely you're not suggesting it's written that to protect the players and umpires of the game are you?
I don't mean to hint that any other organization is better with their rule book. Heck, PONY has a "vase" on their infield, instead of a "base". For about 6 years now. Think they're gonna change that? Not yet.

It wouldn't be bad. I believe that not everything fits perfectly into a particular context, especially when it comes to specifics involving rules to a ball game.
Please note that ASA spent years trying to get the book to a manageable size. The book has a purpose and that does not include placing high on a best seller list.
