Not sure I understand the premise correctly.
Is the intent to allow unfettered play where guys can get hurt?
I should remind people that the spitball was outlawed not because it was a hard pitch to hit, but because Ray Chapman got killed by a "Shine ball".
The games have always changed for the safety of players.
