I'm gonna tell you what...it may sound crazy, but I'll bet they figure out a way to do it in the next 10-15 years.

The question is, would you want it? Would it make your job easier or play with your mind?

In college it is only illegal batting if the bat is forward, so they would have been correct if the bat was backwards.

Thanks...that (was the bat legal under NCAA rules) was actually part of the reason I posted, but I was not clear about that. It was certainly not meant of a criticism of the officials.
