In my humble opinion, a league should not be SO concerned with injuries we change the face of the game. Everyone knows and accepts the risks and they are there in all sports. As a catcher, the danger was one of the draws: i.e. the action, intensity etc. Even the new ASA obstruction rule in some ways bug me. I see the leagues point.... and it's likely due to lawsuits or whatever, but I see it as a degrading of certain facets of the game we all know and love. I've taken the hits, as have most former players, and it's just what it takes to play.
