If you disagree with rules designed to prevent a pitcher from being hurt due to a bat that causes the ball to come back to the pitcher too quickly, do you also propose unbanning all the banned bats? Do you also disagree with rules requiring batting helmets and facemasks or limiting the makeup and length of cleats? If you do not, where is the line between where an association bears the responsibility to prevent injury to the best of it's ability and where an association should not try to prevent a foreseeable injury?
