Good point, Norm. I guess MLB created something else for SABR and the Elias Sports Bureau to separate out. You will have to have, say, X number total home...

Well, actually, the financial reasons are the main reason.  Baseball would never go for it like the union would never agree to eliminate the DH.   Michael ...
