I like the suggestion for wooden bats and pro balls, Rick, but making the pitcher hit? I can think of a lot of reasons to keep the DH, but the only reason I can think of to make the pitchers hit is that it would do away with the brushback pitch.

I'd like to see the rules committee do something about batters who purposely try to get HBP.

I think the pitchers should have to hit. Every other position has to play both offense and defense, so why not the pitcher? The DH hasn't been around all that long and I never have liked it. And I'm all for wooden bats too.

I admit I had no idea the balls are different

But if I was a decent college player, I'd definitely try using a wooden bat, you know scouts would love it.
