Each batter takes his turn in rotation. God made some folks very tall, some short, some keen-eyed and agile. On the field, we see that some make better shortstops, while a few belong in right field or guarding third base. Only a few are pitchers or really great catchers. You cannot play baseball if everyone insists on pitching or if some insist on getting more than three unsuccessful swings at the ball.
Stars play better baseball than nerds and couch potatoes.
A number of our nation's judges, lawyers, bar associations, and private think tanks are urging exceptions to the rules so near-sighted players can catch and ones with weak arms can have their turn on the pitcher's mound. It isn't American. Resolve conflicts peacefully. Make everyone play by the rules. Learn the rules for yourself.
