I completely agree. Baseball needs that to remain prevelant. The fines and suspensions are too stiff. Players do need to police themselves, but since the majority of players hang over the plate, and hit homers, baseball wants to stop pitchers from evening the score. Do you think Bonds and his little gay twirl would be accepted 50 years ago? Hell no, he would be beaned!

I also feel players should not be allowed to wear the body armor they wear now.
