I think enough is enough!  The League office has got to get
tough on this use of close and hiting pitches.  This can only
lead to the crippling or death of a player.

No one knows what it feels like to have a 90+ mph baseball
going for one's body without catually being in that spot.

I think it should be a judgement call by the umpire.  If he
feels it to be intentional then let's have mandatory suspension 
and/or 10,000 dollar fine.

A beanball can end a career..it can end a life.  Let's get serious
and just playball!
