"Ban on plate collisions seen as likely"

[MD Longhorn]

Manny, you proceed from the notion that allowing collisions at home plate is a good thing and blast the opposing opinion simply because it doesn't prove the converse.

So I ask you ... what is GOOD about allowing the catcher, and only the catcher to violate the obstruction rules that every other fielder is held to, and to allow a runner to maliciously contact the catcher ... and only the catcher ... in a way that would warrant an ejection anywhere else on the field?
